Manchester United 'have not yet made Facundo Medina bid'

Manchester United are yet to make an approach for Lens defender Facundo Medina despite the recent speculation, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The 20-time English champions were thought to be interested in the 21-year-old, who had allegedly emerged as a £10m January target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

However, according to Romano, United have not been in touch with Lens to discuss the centre-back, and he is not currently being viewed as a primary target for the club.

"Manchester United have *not* opened talks with Lens to sign Facundo Medina, as of today. He's not considered a target for January for Man Utd as Moises Caicedo [Brighton are still working to sign him]," the journalist posted on his official Twitter account.

Medina, who made his Argentina debut last October, has featured on 12 occasions in Ligue 1 during the 2020-21 campaign.

The defender only joined Lens from Argentine club Talleres last July and has a contract with the French outfit until the summer of 2024.
