French star emerges as deadline day target for Man Utd [L’Equipe]

According to reports in France, Manchester United are mulling over making a transfer deadline day move for Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa.

The France star struggled for game time under Unai Emery last season and has now been linked with a move away from the Parc des Princes.

Jose Mourinho knows he needs to bolster his defence this summer, although he is running out of time and also needs to sign a centre-half.

At 26, Kurzawa ought to be near the finished article and be a significant improvement on Ashley Young and Luke Shaw. I’ve not seen anywhere near enough of the full-back to make a well-judged assessment.

According to L’Equipe, United’s chiefs are considering making a deadline day move for the defender.

Kurzawa arrived at PSG in 2015 for €23 million from AS Monaco but featured just 20 times last season.

New boss Thomas Tuchel could offer a different way into the team for the Frenchman.
