Red Devils ready to make a move for Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte
The 13-time Premier League champions are ready to beat Arsenal and Chelsea to the signing of the highly regarded 20-year-old, according to the Mirror.
Laporte has been an established figure in the Bilbao team for some time and due to his age and potential has been made a top target by Louis van Gaal.
Vice-chairman Ed Woodward has now entered negotiations over a deal, although there is a £32m release clause written into the Frenchman’s contract.
