Manchester United are reportedly keen on recruiting RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.

The 21-year-old is viewed as one of the best young defenders in Europe.

United have scouted the Frenchman for some time and now want to make their move.

According to theDaily Mail, the Red Devils will make Leipzig an 'offer they can't refuse' to prise Upamecano from Germany.

There was a £54m release clause in Upamecano's previous contract, but that was not transferred into his new deal.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to pair Upamecano with captain Harry Maguire in the heart of his defence.

The Norwegian hopes the club can seal a speedy deal for the dominant defender, with Donny van de Beek also expected to complete a move to Old Trafford soon.
