Manchester United are at the head of the queue for Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare, according to Italian journalist Vito Angele.

Manchester United are reportedly "the favourites" to sign Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare.

The 21-year-old has been linked with a move away from his French club over the last 12 months, with United, Liverpool and AC Milan all believed to be interested in his services.

Soumare has been a key player for Lille during the 2020-21 campaign, making 21 appearances in all competitions, but the speculation surrounding his future continues to gather pace.

According to Italian journalist Vito Angele, the 20-time English champions are leading the race to sign the Frenchman, potentially at the end of the season.

"He is an important player but I don't think he will be coming to Serie A," Angele told The Italian Football Podcast. "Man Utd are working on him and they are the favourites to sign him right now. Lille are also asking a high price for him which is too much for Milan."

Soumare's existing deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy is due to expire in June 2022.
