Man Utd 'pondering summer swoop' for Everton forward Richarlison

Manchester United are reportedly considering make a summer move for Everton forward Richarlison.

The former Watford man signed for the Toffees for a fee which could rise to £50million prior to the start of this season and has scored 14 times in his debut campaign on Merseyside.

Richarlison is unlikely to be fit for this weekend's match against Crystal Palace after being forced out of the win against United with a rib injury.

He played under Everton boss Marco Silva at Watford and the two were reunited at Goodison.

Richarlison netted twice on his Brazil debut in September and has also been linked with AC Milan and Barcelona .
