As reported by The Sun, Manchester United are interested in signing Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet this summer.
What's the story?
After a disappointing season at Old Trafford, United boss Jose Mourinho will be looking for solutions in the transfer market that can solve the biggest problem positions at the club.
While only Man City have conceded less goals than the Red Devils this season, their defensive line is still seen as incomplete and signings in that area are expected this summer.
One name that could arrive at the club is French U21 international Clement Langlet, currently starring for Sevilla in La Liga.
That's according to The Sun, who say that United are weighing up a £20m move for the 22-year-old.
He recently played against Mourinho's side in the UEFA Champions League, helping Sevilla progress to the quarter-finals stage.
The paper reckon that since then Old Trafford scouts have been sent to Spain to check on his ability further.
However, they will face competition for his signature from Barcelona, according to the report.

Who is he?
Signing for Sevilla last season, Lenglet has emerged as a trusted first team member at the club, making 68 appearances in all competitions for the Spaniards.
He's helped his side to 16 clean sheets this season, including against both Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.
His performances at that level demonstrate he's a young player with enormous potential. At 22 years of age, he has plenty of time to improve even further and working under Jose Mourinho can enhance his game.
With a strong physical presence, excellent tackling skills and ball-playing ability, he already has plenty to his game to fit in at Old Trafford.
Can he prove to be the long-term defensive solution that Mourinho is looking for?
