Manchester United targeted Lascelles before Mourinho sacking - sources
Mark Ogden and Julien Laurens examine the different directions Manchester United and PSG have gone in leading up to the last 16 of the Champions League.
Jamaal Lascelles, the Newcastle United centre-half, was on a list of potential January defensive targets considered by Jose Mourinho prior to his dismissal as Manchester United manager in December, sources have told ESPN FC.
Mourinho was sacked by United with the team lying in sixth position, 11 points adrift of the top four, after a troubled start to the season which had begun with the manager complaining about the club's failure to sufficiently bolster the squad's defensive options.
