Man Utd offered Ruben Loftus-Cheek amid 'secret talks'

Manchester United are believed to have been offered the chance to sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek this month.

The former Chelsea and England midfielder is a regular in Serie A with AC Milan, but it's been said that they could be willing to let him leave on loan in January.

TEAMtalk claim that United are one of seven Premier League clubs to be alerted to Loftus-Cheek's potential availability, along with Aston Villa, Newcastle, Brentford, Everton, Sunderland and Fulham, plus other teams in Italy and Spain.

Jacobs said the player in question had Premier League experience but was currently playing outside of England.
