Manchester United are close to overcoming competition from Real Madrid to seal a £52.1 million ($67.9m) deal for Leny Yoro after the Lille defender was granted permission to travel to Old Trafford for a medical, sources have told ESPN.

United, who completed the £35.8m ($46.7m) signing of Netherlands forward Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna earlier this week, have moved ahead of Madrid in the race for Yoro, with sources telling ESPN that the Champions League winners opted against engaging in a bidding war with the Premier League club for the centre-half.
