Manchester United could apparently move for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti during this current summer’s transfer window if they can’t get it for Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane.

The Red Devils are expected to be on the lookout for another defender ahead of the 2021-22 season, and Varane has been unequivocally connected with a move to Old Trafford.

Nonetheless, as indicated by the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils see Umtiti as a possible option if they can’t sign the Los Blancos centre-back.

The report asserts that Umtiti is anticipated to be accessible for move this summer, having battled for regular action during the 2020-21 season, while Ronald Koeman’s side are interested to trim their wages spending plan in the coming a months because of the financial effect of the Covid pandemic.

Umtiti has missed a lot of football this season because of a knee issue, making only 14 appearances in all competitions for the Catalan club.

Liverpool are also supposed to be exploring the chance of signing the 27-year-old this summer.
