Man Utd threaten Barcelona plans for Lenglet

Manchester United are eyeing Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet for the summer market.

The Sun says they face a fight with Barcelona for the defender, 22, who has starred in La Liga and Europe this term.

French Under-21 Lenglet impressed in United's Champions League defeat to Sevilla in March and scouts have been to Spain to check on the mobile centre-half.

United boss Jose Mourinho has grown restless with his defenders and plans major changes next season.

La Liga champions-elect Barca have already asked about 6ft 2in Lenglet, who could cost about £20million.

But United may go in with more cash for both Sevilla and Lenglet, who has quietly impressed since they signed him from Nancy in 2017, and he is the type of player that could fit into the English game.
