United had scouts at Goodison  with right-back Seamus Coleman and striker Romelu Lukaku the main targets.

Jose Mourinho sold Romelu Lukaku as Chelsea manager - but is eyeing a reunion at Manchester United, after sending scouts to watch him in Everton's draw with Crystal Palace, according to Daily Star.

The special one sold Lukaku to Everton for £28m in 2014 after a season on loan at Goodison Park from Chelsea and criticised his attitude.

Jose Mourinho have also been linked with signing Everton's Seamus Coleman.
