Manchester United plot £35m swoop for Everton contract rebel Ross Barkley

Manchester United are prepared to test Everton's resolve by bidding on Ross Barkley this summer.

Ross Barkley continues to stall on a new Everton contract and the Mirror reports that Manchester United plan to take advantage by making an offer this summer.

The 23-year-old has shown glimpses of world-class potential this campaign, and with one year remaining on his current deal, the Toffees face a tough decision at the end of the season.

Ronald Koeman is reportedly ready to sell the England international should he not accept a contract worth £100,000 a week.

Chelsea were knocked back in 2015 with a £35 million offer and as things stand, the Red Devils may have a chance of signing the player for that amount if the contract standoff continues.
