Manchester United are chasing AS Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile.

L'Equipe says Monaco are fighting to keep hold of their talented teenage defender this year.

United and Barcelona are in contact with Badiashile's camp, with the Premier League giants having tabled a contract offer to the 16 year-old.

Barca, RB Leipzig and Juventus are also speaking with Badiashile's minders, but United's offer is now on the table.

For their part, ASM are becoming increasingly concerned they face losing their talented centre-half this year.
