Manchester United 'identify Monaco full back Fode Ballo-Toure as transfer target' to provide competition for Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams

Manchester United have reportedly identified Monaco full back Fode Ballo-Toure as a potential transfer target this summer.

The 23-year-old made 21 appearances for Monaco before the Ligue 1 season was curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic, and joined the principality club for a £10million fee in January 2019.

Ballo-Toure is thought to have caught the eye of Old Trafford scouts, who believe that the France U21 international may be able to provide competition for Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams.

According to The Times, clubs are on the lookout for cut-price deals in the upcoming transfer window due to the current financial uncertainty - but United may be tempted into a swoop for Ballo-Toure.
