Manchester United are in contact with Nice for Jean-Clair Todibo.

The Sun says talks have opened for the France defender ahead of Friday's transfer deadline.

Todibo has rejected an offer from Al-Ittihad this week as he holds out for United.

Nice want £47million to sell Todibo - with United to table a five-year deal with a £385,000-a-month salary and a £3m signing bonus.

United are making their move with Raphael Varane out for six weeks due to injury.
