Barcelona weigh up selling France defender to Manchester United

Barcelona are considering the possibility of selling Samuel Umtiti to Manchester United in the summer, according to Daily Mail. La Liga giants are desperate to sign Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt and are willing to sacrifice Umtiti in order to get a deal for the highly-rated Dutch teenager over the line. According to the same story, Umtiti’s uncertain future at Camp Nou has alerted Manchester United, who are keen to improve their defensive options this summer. Manchester United were rumoured to be sending scouts to watch Umtiti in action for France on Monday night. However, the report does reveal the Red Devils’ concern about Umtiti’s persistent injury problems, which could prove a stumbling block to any potential deal.
