Manchester United are preparing a move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde in addition to their pursuit of Raphael Varane.
United are pushing ahead with a move for Real Madrid star Varane, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also keen on a deal for Varane's French international team-mate Kounde.
Solskjaer has made defensive reinforcements one of his top priorities this summer and Kounde has been on United's wanted list for some time.
Kounde, who was part of France's squad at this summer's Euros, has established himself as one of the best young defenders in Europe since joining Sevilla from Bordeaux in 2019.
