Until recently, Manchester United had two names marked in red. The signing of Dayot Upamecano by Bayern, one of the Red Devils' targets, forces the Eglish side to opt directly for Jules Koundé, Sevilla centre-back. They will try to sign him in the summer.

Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer is looking for reinforcements for 2020-21. One of the priorities is to sign defenders.

Until Sunday, United had Upamecano, of RB Leipzig, and Koundé in their sights. But the signing of the former for Bayern has forced the Red Devils to change their plans.

The 'Daily Express' affirms that, from this moment, Koundé will be United's priority. They will do what is in their hands to try and sign him from Sevilla.

The British press already recently stated that United were willing to go all out for Koundé. They would be willing to pay up to 67 million for him.
