REVEALED: Man Utd scouted RB Leipzig defender Upamecano in Lisbon

Manchester United have been following RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano during this month's Champions League tournament.

Upamecano is still being scouted by United, says the Athletic.

The RB Leipzig defender, 21, was on the end of a thumping from PSG in the Champions League semi-finals, as the French club took Julian Nagelsmann's side to the cleaners in Portugal.

But Upamecano has attracted interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs, including United.

United will keep scouting him, but may not want to drag their feet.

The Red Devils missed out on the player three years ago when they approached him and his family before being accused of not meeting his requirements for family visits at the academy.

Arsenal have been closely linked to the French defender.
