Man Utd could lose major Erik ten Hag transfer target to PSG with boss’ Janaury plans already hitting snag
MANCHESTER UNITED’S transfer plans have suffered a blow as PSG are interested in Youssouf Fofana, according to reports.
The 24-year-old could leave Monaco with just 18 months left on his current deal.
Man Utd are keen to bolster their midfield options in the transfer window with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his chiefs are identifying targets.
Reports from CaughtOffside claim that Fofana is on their radar.
However, a move could prove difficult with Monaco reluctant to sell in January and PSG like the look of him.
Fofana fits the Parisians profile of signing French-born stars.
Meanwhile, Monaco are aware they may struggle to keep the 15-time capped international if they don’t qualify for next season’s Champions League.
They currently sit third in Ligue 1 just six points off PSG at the top.
Man Utd want Fofana amid reports that Casemiro is up for sale.
Midfield numbers could take a hit at the end of the season when Sofyan Amrabat’s loan expires.
