According to German publication Bild, as translated by the Manchester Evening News, United have been following the 20-year-old’s progress in the Bundesliga over the last few months with a view to launching a summer transfer swoop for the defender. Manchester United could try to buy RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano at the end of the current season. Upamecano reportedly has a €100m ($113m) release clause in his contract, meaning the Premier League club would have to break the transfer record for a defender. The 23-year-old is currently on loan from Spanish side Real Betis, and he was one of several players who were linked with moves away this summer.
