Manchester United have opened talks with Monaco over the signing of Youssouf Fofana, according to Sky Sports.

United have explored the conditions of a transfer for the 25-year-old, who is into the final year of his contract.

Fofana has been with the Ligue 1 side since 2020 and has played 175 times, scoring seven goals.

United are believed to be looking at several midfield options including Richard Rios from Palmeiras, Burnley’s Sander Berge, Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat, who was on loan at the club last season.

The Red Devils retain an interest in Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte, but not at the prices being quoted.
