Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare remains on Manchester United's radar.

Soumare, 21, has clocked up 66 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille after a move from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

He is on the cusp of a first senior France cap and is rated as one of the top youngsters in his homeland.

Indeed, Manchester United are known to be big fans.

And they tracked him last summer amid fears Paul Pogba was set to leave the club.

The £89million man ended up staying at Old Trafford.

But with his contract expiring in 2022, it is reckoned Pogba will finally depart Old Trafford.

And Soumare is apparently being lined up to replace him in United's midfield, reports The Sun.
