Man Utd make proposal to sign Lille defender

Manchester United have made a proposal to sign Lille defender Leny Yoro, but he has no desire to join them, according to AS.

The Red Devils are on the hunt for a new central defender following the decision to part ways with Raphael Varane on a free transfer.

Yoro is one of the top names on their wishlist, but a deal appears unlikely at the moment due to the transfer stance of the 18-year-old.

The wonderkid clearly has the ambition of joining Madrid, and he has reportedly turned down a proposal from the Red Devils.

Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are also interested in signing him, but the youngster is currently determined to join Los Blancos.

The news is a huge blow for the Red Devils, who are making no progress in the transfer window. They are yet to make any signing.

The club are also interested in Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite but their £43m offer is well short of the Toffees' £70m valuation for him.
