Manchester United Consider £31m Move for Sevilla Defender & Barcelona Target Clement Lenglet

Manchester United are considering launching a £31m bid for Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet, but will face stiff competition for the 22-year-old's signature from La Liga giants Barcelona, according to French news outlet L'Equipe.

Lenglet, who made 51 appearances for Los Hispalenses across all competitions last season, is regarded as one of the best up-and-coming defenders in Europe, and a host of clubs have been linked with a move for the centre back in recent weeks.

Reports from late May claimed that Lenglet was set to sign for Barcelona on a five-year deal after La Blaugrana and Sevilla had agreed on a deal.
