It was earlier reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is interested in bringing a centre-forward, a right-winger and a centre-back to United this summer. The Red Devils have reportedly secured the services of Van de Beek from Ajax lately and are looking for more players. It is now being reported by ESPN that Solskjaer wants Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig this summer, despite his contract extension.
United have been in the lookout of a centre-back and are aiming to a great centre-back to partner Harry Maguire. The Red Devils are reportedly keen to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City, with the backing of the board. It has been reported that United are currently set their sights on Dayot Upamecano, who is one of the best young centre-backs in the world.
The 21-year old was in the centre of a lot of transfer speculation at the beginning of summer but has subsequently extended his contract. According to reports, Upamecano has a release clause of €42m which can be triggered at the end of next season. But Solskjaer believes that he can lure the player to United and can find an agreement on the fees with Leipzig.
Dayot Upamecano would surely be an upgrade from Lindelof and by signing the young centre-back United can put forward a statement of intent.
