Manchester United are joining the interest for Lille defender Sven Botman.

United are considering a summer swoop for centre-back Botman, according to the Football Insider.

The Lille defender has been heavily linked with a move to AC Milan, but reports now suggest that the Red Devils could beat the Italian giants to the 22-year-old.

Erik ten Hag has already begun discussing transfer targets with United officials, and has reportedly made a left-sided centre-half a priority.

Botman has earned many plaudits during his two seasons at Stade Pierre Mauroy, and was heavily linked with both Newcastle and Tottenham during the January transfer window.

The Dutch U21 international has three years remaining on his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit.
