Dnipro winger Konoplyanka under consideration by Man Utd

New Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is considering paying Dnipro the £12.1m buyout clause for winger Yevhen Konoplyanka. United have scouted Konoplyyanka on more than one occasion, the most recent being on Sunday when Dnipro played Metalurg Donetsk.

Andrey Stetsenko, Dnipro's sporting director who is in charge of transfers, accepts that Konoplyanka could leave the club.

"Our scouts are working to find his replacement. Sooner or later Konoplyanka will leave Dnipro," he said. "We know that English, Spanish and German clubs are monitoring the situation and are interested in the player. But we have no offers.

"His contract has a buy-out clause worth €15m for foreign clubs. For Ukrainian clubs the buy-out is more."
