Sevilla defender Jules Kounde is keen on a move to Manchester United.

El Nacional says the agent of Kounde has been instructed to open discussions with Manchester United about a possible move to Old Trafford.

The highly-rated defender had been linked with a switch to Chelsea in the summer window but he ended up remaining at Sevilla when the London side refused to match the asking price.

Real Marid are hopeful of his signature - however, the Frenchman does not 'trust' Carlo Ancelotti to provide a decent amount of game time and thus has told his agent to speak to Man United in hope of a move there.

The northwest side are 'crazy' about signing the 22-year-old, but Sevilla are holding out for at least €90m (£75.9m) in exchange, according to the same report.
