Ramos is keen to leave Real Madrid, but the team has been playing hardball while Man United has continued to raise their offers for him.
The Sky Sports Twitter account is reporting that Man United has just bid £28.6m on Ramos, and the defender is now even more eager to leave Bernabeu.

If these sources are true, it sounds like Man United may not have to bid as high as they thought for Real Madrid to sell Ramos.
Ramos has spent the last 10 seasons of his career with Real Madrid, but he may be unhappy with the team’s decision to sack manager Carlo Ancelotti, according to ESPN FC.
The Red Devils would receive a huge upgrade on the defensive side if they are to officially land Ramos, as they struggled in that aspect during the 2014-15 season.
