Manchester United preparing January swoop for Valencia ace Carlos Soler

United are preparing to launch a £30m raid to add midfield cover after seeing their side deprived of talisman Paul Pogba due to injury.

JOSE MOURINHO is hot on the trail of Spain under 21 midfielder Carlos Soler and he wants the deal wrapped up as soon as possible.

The Mail believes the Red Devils are busy behind the scenes making more moves, with a £30m offer to bring Valencia ace Soler to Old Trafford in the works.

The Spain under-21 midfielder has a £75m buy-out clause, though Los Che will likely accept a lower fee.

Soler has played a key role in Valencia's flying start to the season, scoring three times in La Liga already.
