Manchester United make contact with Thomas Lemar as Atletico Madrid winger targets summer move

Manchester United are making the most of the unforeseen break in the football season by drawing up a plan to sign Thomas Lemar during the summer transfer window.

The French midfielder's representatives met with United last week, according to ESPN, and negotiations could develop further while the 2019-20 campaign is put on hold due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

The midfielder caught the attention of Liverpool and Arsenal during his outstanding 2016-17 season, producing 14 goals and 18 assists as Monaco lifted the Ligue 1 title and reached the Champions League semi-finals.
