Man Utd edge closer to landing Dnipro winger Yevhen Konoplyanka

Manchester United have been encouraged in their pursuit of Dnipro winger Yevhen Konoplyanka.

The Daily Star Sunday says Konoplyanka, 24, was being chased by Liverpool in January but a move fell through on transfer deadline day. Tottenham have also shown an interest in the Ukraine ace.

But now United - under new boss Louis Van Gaal - are poised to swoop and they could get the winger for £12m.

A Dnipro source hinted the Ukraine ace could be on his way and said: "Officially, there's a specific amount for which we don't have the right to not release Konoplyanka.

"If Man United offer favourable conditions and agree terms with Konoplyanka, then no one can do anything."
