Manchester United leading the race to sign €12m Spain International

Barcelona defender Marc Bartra is reportedly emerging out as a prime target for Manchester United in the January transfer window.

According to reports from the Daily Mirror, the Red Devils are leading the race for Bartra, who is considering his future at the Camp Nou.

Ed Malyon writes that Bartra has been left “distraught” for being left out of the match day squad for El Clasico at the weekend. He is therefore contemplating a move away from Barcelona to secure first-team football.

Manchester United are still looking to sign a top class central defender, after missing out on few top targets in the summer like Sergio Ramos and Nicolas Otamendi.
