Atletico Madrid could be forced into selling Saul Niguez as Manchester United circle.

Saul has a release clause in his contract, which is within range of United.

The Sun says the 24-year-old has a deal with Atletico which keeps him at the club until 2026, but he has a release clause of £135m.

While it is certainly a pricey sum, considering his age and ability United may be tempted to splash out on the player if Paul Pogba leaves this summer.

With Pogba linked with an £150m move to Madrid, United would have more than enough to afford Saul, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be a big fan of the player.
