Man United's £42m bid for Leny Yoro is ACCEPTED by Lille, according to French reports... but the 18-year-old prefers to join Real Madrid, with PSG and Liverpool also showing interest

Manchester United have had a £42million bid for Leny Yoro accepted by Lille, according to reports in France.

United sources declined to comment on the reports, but the club are known to be pursuing a number of centre-back targets that include Jarrad Branthwaite and Matthijs de Ligt.

Yoro is understood to prefer a move to Real Madrid who are favourites to sign the 18-year-old defender, while Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are also tracking him.

However, Real have not matched the offer of £42m plus add-ons that United are reported to have made.
