Man United target is desperate for Old Trafford move

Man United target is desperate for Old Trafford move

Manchester United have edged closer to complete the signing of Lille defender Leny Yoro.

The young French defender is expected to become Man United’s second summer signing after striker Joshua Zirkzee.

The Red Devils have shown their intent in the transfer window this summer and they have no intention to stop any time soon.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt is waiting for Man United to make a move for him.

However, Romano reveals that the Premier League giants might need to sell some players before making a move for the Dutch defender.

Speaking on a transfer update live show on Playback, Romano said:

“Let me say that this will have an impact on Matthijs de Ligt, because obviously Manchester United now can’t spend €100 million, more than €100 million on two centre-backs without outgoings. So Man United still want to sign two centre-backs this summer.

Man United intentionally means to bring in two players in that position. But now, after Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, now they will finally (be able to) focus also on some other outgoings after Mason Greenwood.

So trying to sell some players. Matthijs de Ligt remains a strong option. Also, Jarrad Branthwaite is a player they like, but is considered almost impossible in terms of price and in terms of total package needed.

Matthijs De Ligt is keen on a move to Man United.
