Man United 'to wait until end of season to make Kounde decision'

Manchester United will reportedly wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to attempt to bring Sevilla's Jules Kounde to the club during this summer's transfer window.

The 22-year-old's development at Estadio Ramon has allegedly made him a target for the likes of Man United and Real Madrid ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

Sevilla have the Frenchman on a contract until June 2024, though, and are unlikely to sanction a move for under the centre-back's £68m release clause.

According to Eurosport, the Red Devils are interested in signing Kounde but will wait until the end of the season before making a final decision on the former France Under-21s international.

The former Bordeaux youngster has scored three times in 36 appearances for the Europa League winners this season, including a goal against Rennes in the Champions League in December.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are also said to be considering's Villarreal's Pau Torres.
