Manchester United find Dayot Upamecano as cheaper alternative to Kalidou Koulibaly: report

Manchester United could compete with four other Premier League clubs in order to land the signature of Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig this summer, France Football reports.

The Red Devils recruited Harry Maguire from Leicester City during the 2019 summer transfer window and the England international has since been a regular at the heart of the club’s defence alongside Victor Lindelof.

Lindelof was guilty for a few positional mistakes in the early phase of the campaign but the Swede has become more consistent alongside Maguire as the season has progressed.

Despite this, United are understood to be eyeing another centre-back for next season and France Football claims that they could set their focus on signing Upamecano.
