Manchester United ''set to battle it out with Barcelona'' for £31million Sevilla defender

Manchester United are reportedly set to rival Barcelona for Clement Lenglet.

Barcelona is leading the chase for Sevilla defender Lenglet.

Lenglet impressed Jose Mourinho as Sevilla won over United in Champions League earlier this season.

 

United are expected to bring a new centre-back in this summer with Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld a target.

But L'Equipe reports that Jose Mourinho eyes Lenglet. The Frenchman is expected to cost around £31million if he leaves Sevilla.

Sevilla's director of football Joaquin Caparros has made it clear there had not been any contact.

"What's certain is that as of today no one has spoke with the president nor with me to show their interest in Lenglet," Caparros told Sport.

"The player is happy at the club. He has things clear and he knows Sevilla is a club that can give him opportunities to keep growing and to leave at the moment when he has to take a step forward."
