Manchester United have 'Liverpool target Ibrahima Konate on their radar' as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer considers £33m-rated RB Leipzig defender to replace 'frustrated' Eric Bailly

Manchester United are reportedly considering whether to hi-jack Liverpool's bid to land RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate in the summer, in light of replacing Eric Bailly.

Konate has been a long time target for Jurgen Klopp, with the Reds hoping to land the France Under 21 defender in the next transfer window for around £33million.

But according to Eurosport they may have to fight off Manchester United for his services with their bitter rivals now having the highly rated centre-back 'on their radar'.

Although United have previously shown interest in Konate, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may now take his interest further as he considers freshening up his back four.
