The French full-back has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs

Manchester United are said to be on the lookout for someone who can replace Harry Maguire after it was reported that West Ham United have agreed to sign the former Manchester United captain for a fee of £30 million.

Man United have been keen on offloading the centre back as reports have suggested that he was informed by Ten Hag that he is not a part of the clubs plans going forward and that the team management wanted him to leave Old Trafford.

As his move to West Ham looks to be materializing, Man United are on the lookout for a centre back who can replace him and whose style of operation is suited to the way manger Erik ten Hag wants the club to be run.
