Manchester United 'cool interest in Dayot Upamecano'

Manchester United may reportedly opt against making an approach for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.

The Premier League giants are one of a number of high-profile European clubs who have been monitoring the development of the centre-back in recent seasons.

Despite having recently penned a new contract with Leipzig, the 22-year-old will be available for £38m in the summer due to a release clause inserted in his new deal.

However, according to The Athletic, United are no longer regarded as one of the favourites to sign the France international.

At a time when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's interest is said to have cooled, the report suggests that Bayern Munich are the new frontrunners for the player.

The European champions are eager to find replacements for David Alaba and Jerome Boateng, who are both expected to leave the Allianz Arena in 2021.
