Manchester United 'join Giovani Lo Celso race'

Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

The 23-year-old recently completed a permanent move to Betis, having been on loan with the Spanish outfit from Paris Saint-Germain since the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

Lo Celso ended the recent season as Betis's leading scorer, netting 16 times in all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur have been strongly linked with a summer swoop and are reportedly prepared to pay £53m to land the Argentine as a replacement for Christian Eriksen.

However, according to Marca, United 'are also contemplating a move' for the playmaker, who has an £88m release clause in his current deal at the Benito Villamarin.

Lo Celso, who is a 12-time Argentina international, scored six times in 54 games for PSG before leaving the French champions last summer.
