Manchester United have approached Watford for Ismaila Sarr.

The Telegraph says United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has turned his attention to the winger, 22, after struggling to strike a deal for Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho.

Sarr only joined Watford in 2019 from Stade Rennais for £30million, scoring five Premier League goals as the Hornets were relegated to the Championship.

Liverpool were leading the race for his £40m-rated signature earlier this summer.

But Jurgen Klopp eventually moved for Wolves forward Diogo Jota instead.

And it now appears that Man United are in pole position for the highly-rated Senegal international.
