Manchester United are pushing to sign Braga defender David Carmo.

United are in the market for a new defender with new boss Erik ten Hag hoping to bring Timber with him from Ajax.

The Daily Mail says United have held two rounds of talks with 22-year-old Carmo's management team.

Carmo was a transfer target for Liverpool last season and nearly made the switch to Anfield but the deal collapsed.

The centre-back helped Braga to a fourth-placed finish, qualifying for next season's Europa League.

His fine form has earned Carmo a call-up to Portugal's squad for their June Nations League fixtures.
