Here are all the latest Red Devils stories from today's Daily Mirror...

Evans closing in on £7m Toffees switch

Jonny Evans is moving closer to a £7million move from Manchester United to Everton.
United and Everton are said to be close to finalising a deal that will see the defender move to Goodison Park.
As revealed by MirrorSport on May 19, Everton boss Roberto Martinez targeted Evans to bolster his defence.

 

United want £10m for Evans, but with only a year left on his contract, they are likely to have to reach a compromise on that figure.
Evans, 27, endured a tough time under Louis van Gaal last season, with injuries and a six-match ban for spitting blighting his campaign.

Schweinsteiger: I want titles at United

Bastian Schweinsteiger insists he's as hungry as ever to win silverware after moving to Manchester United.
The 30-year-old completed a move to Old Trafford on Monday, signing a three-year contract on the same day the Red Devils completed their capture of Morgan Schneiderlin.
Despite winning practically all there is to win during his lengthy spell at Bayern, Schweinsteiger is adamant that he wants to continue to win trophies at Old Trafford.
