Alderweireld delay turns Man Utd attention towards Barcelona target Lenglet

Manchester United are set to challenge Barcelona for the signature of Clement Lenglet.

United are chasing after the Sevilla central defender, who had a very impressive season for the Spanish side.

Lenglet is also being linked to Barcelona, where he could serve as a replacement for the aging Gerard Pique.

The 22-year-old defender has a release clause of £30.7 million, which would make him an appealing target for both clubs.

While United are heavily linked with a move for Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld, L'Equipe claim their interest in Lenglet is very real.

He would probably cost United half as much as Spurs would demand for Alderweireld.
