United are busy preparing for this weekend's match against Bournemouth off the back of their epic EFL Cup final triumph over Southampton.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jesse Lingard had put Jose Mourinho's side 2-0 up before Manolo Gabbiadini fired home twice for the Saints.

But Ibrahimovic came up trumps in the end with a late header to seal the cup.

The club are already preparing their summer transfer business, including planning for the potential departure of David de Gea.

AC Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma is mooted as a £43m replacement, which would make him the most expensive teenager in football history.
