Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Eduardo Camavinga, with reports from France claiming that the young midfielder prefers a move to Paris Saint-Germain over an Old Trafford transfer.

The 18-year-old, who has just one year remaining on his contract at Rennes, has been strongly linked with a move to both clubs and could leave his club this summer.

According to FootMercato, Paris Saint-Germain are set to make a move for the exciting star at the end of this window, despite being close to wrapping up a sensational deal to bring Lionel Messi to Parc des Princes.

The report claims that although he is being courted by Manchester United, a move to Paris is said to be Camavinga’s preference as United continue to search for a successor to Paul Pogba.

Rennes are believed to be hoping to earn as much as €50m for their prized asset but due to his contract situation, a lesser fee could be negotiated.
