Jose’s eye on Umtiti
MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to take advantage of the breakdown in contract talks between Samuel Umtiti and Barcelona.
Negotiations between Barca and France star Umtiti have stalled, with the centre-back wanting treble his £50,000-a-week salary.
Although Umtiti is under contract until 2021, Barca opened talks to try to head off interest from a host of top European clubs, including United.
Boss Jose Mourinho is looking for a centre-back this summer and has Umtiti and Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane, both 24, on his list of possible targets.
