Manchester United would be on red alert for Barcelona star Samuel Umtiti as they pursue their quest for a central defender.
It is also said that Manchester City is very fond of the French and there is no doubt that the best clubs in Europe will line up to conquer it.
Umtiti was part of the Blues team that won the World Cup last summer. Many expect his career to progress further.
However, the defender has had injury problems this season, which has earned him barely qualified for Barcelona.
United is looking for a central defender since last summer and the former Lyonnais may well be the ideal rookie.
According to the Calcio Mercato, the Sun newspaper reports that Barcelona is ready to listen to offers for Umtiti, who wishes to replace it with Matthijs de Ligt, the prodigy of Ajax.
Since this transfer is likely to occur only if another transfer is in progress, the Red Devils would do well not to consider it too much as their main option.
Club supporters have often indicated that they prefer that Napoli central defender Kalidou Koulibaly be their first choice.
Ajax's Ligt was also worried, especially after his performance in the Champions League in his historic victory over Real Madrid.
