Manchester United 'make RB Leipzig's Ibrahima Konate their No 1 summer target in defence' as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prioritises signing a centre-back - but they'll face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea for him

Manchester United have reportedly identified RB Leipzig's Ibrahima Konate as their main centre-back target for the summer.

United had previously viewed Konate's centre-back partner Dayot Upamecano as the best fit but have now turned their attentions to the 21-year-old, who has performed equally as well in Germany.

Upamecano, who is available this summer for just £38million due to a clause in his contract, had been heavily linked with United but Bayern Munich are thought to be leading the chase for his signature while Liverpool and Chelsea also have hopes of signing him.
