Manchester United have made two approaches for Lionel Messi as they gauge the Barcelona superstar's interest in a potential move to Old Trafford, according to the Daily Mail.
United are said to be willing to wait until next season to sign the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, in a deal that would almost certainly eclipse the current world record £85 million that Real Madrid paid to acquire Gareth Bale.
Messi's current deal expires in 2018 and the report claims that the attacker's camp have refused to rule out the possibility of a transfer.
The Argentina international is currently in the midst of a court case surrounding his tax affairs, and is said to be "hurt" by the circus surrounding both him and his family.
