Man United 'considering summer move for Fofana'

Manchester United are reportedly considering making a move for Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old has impressed during his first season in England, making 29 appearances in all competitions, including 21 outings in the Premier League.

Fofana has a contract at the King Power Stadium until June 2025, placing the Foxes in a strong position when it comes to the defender's future.

According to Foot Mercato, Man United are admirers of the Frenchman and could attempt to sign him ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The report, though, claims that the Red Devils could struggle to agree a fee with Leicester, who are thought to have paid in the region of £30m to bring him to the club last October.

Fofana missed five league games in a row during February due to a thigh problem but has now been involved in his side's last five top-flight fixtures.
