Coutinho was a regular when Niko Kovac was in charge but, ever since the departure of the Croatian, has struggled majorly.
Yet United seem undeterred.
It would certainly be an odd one. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly eyeing the player, despite the way he’s struggled over the last two years.
That’s also despite having Fernandes on the books.
United reportedly see Coutinho as the ideal player for the No 10 role, envisaging a future where he returns to his best and creates chances for the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and, if the club are right with their expectations, Jadon Sancho.
But that would be a strange move, particularly when Fernandes has flourished so much in that position so far.
