Gusto to Man Utd?

Manchester United have their sights of landing Lyon defender Malo Gusto when the transfer window reopens this winter.

The 19-year-old made his Lyon breakthrough at the beginning of the year, and has since impressed with his attacking attributes.

The right-back has bagged five assists for the French side while he has also been defensively solid with his tackling and intercepting skills.

This has caught the eye of numerous European clubs and 90min report that the Red Devils are aiming to prise him away from Lyon.

Gusto will enter the final year of his contract next summer. The French outfit should contemplate his sale if he does not renew.

The youngster is reportedly valued at around €30 million. The Red Devils will face competition from Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the exciting full-back, having failed to bolster their right-back department this summer.

United's approach for Gusto in January could largely depend on whether they can recoup a decent fee from Aaron Wan-Bissaka's sale.
