Man United ahead of Arsenal for Barca defender Umtiti

That is as per Sport, which reports that the Catalan side are quick to offload the protector who has battled for normal playing time this season, while United are in the market for another middle back, especially with Chris Smalling's future still hazy with the England global on credit at AS Roma.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been connected with Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly for quite a while, yet ex-Lyon man Umtiti - who joined Barca for around €30 million out of 2016 - would probably end up being a less expensive option with mentor Quique Setien said to be happy to authorize Umtiti's takeoff to raise reserves.

Joined are required to confront rivalry from Arsenal, who are going into their first summer window under Mikel Arteta, however the Gunners anticipate the appearance William Saliba from Saint-Etienne - who was marked the previous summer yet advanced back to the Ligue 1 club for 2019-20.
