Ivan Perisic is the latest Manchester United transfer rumors circulating in the Twitterverse, blogosphere, cyberspace and media world today, and there’s good reason for that.
This isn’t just tabloid back page “FAKE NEWS!”, there’s substance to this one as United Manager Jose Mourinho was spotted in Zagreb, Croatia meeting with the agent of Ivan Perisic, a gentleman by the name of Predrag Mijatovic.
Here’s more on the Inter Milan star who might be a summer transfer addition to the Red Devils, via the Manchester Evening News:
The Reds manager is being linked with Perisic, who operates mainly as a winger but can also play as an attacking midfielder.
Mourinho was spotted in the Croatian capital meeting with Mijatovic but was irritated when he decided to leave his hotel for a walk in the sunshine.

Mourinho was then reportedly sarcastic to reporters who were tailing him. M.E.N. quote a figure of £30 million for this potential deal while both The Sun and Metro are quoting £35 million. Perisic and the rest of his Croatian teammates will take on Ukraine in a world cup qualifier tonight.
