Manchester United 'are interested in Braga starlet David Carmo' as they ramp up their search for a new left-sided centre back... but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must beat off Premier League competition and sell Phil Jones or Marcos Rojo to land the defender

Manchester United are stepping up their search for a left-sided centre back with Braga starlet David Carmo reportedly in their sights.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen to sign a left-footed centre back in the summer but missed out on Nathan Ake as rivals Manchester City beat them to a £41million deal.
