Man Utd swooping for Lyon midfielder Florent Da Silva

Manchester United are swooping for Lyon midfielder Florent Da Silva.

United are expected to make an "imminent" bid for the midfielder, whose contract with the Ligue 1 side expires next summer.

L'Equipe says United have shown some serious interest in signing Da Silva, 16.

Negotiations between the Red Devils and Lyon are believed to be at a "very advanced" stage.

United want to buy out the final year of his contract, but an agreement is yet to be reached.

But Da Silva himself is still considering his options, while trying to find "the best project" for his future.
