Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba.

United are currently engaged in talks with Harry Maguire over a new deal, as the Englishman has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils released Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof at the end of last campaign.

Maguire, however, is viewed as an integral part of Amorim’s backline, and United want the veteran central defender to extend his stay at the club despite interest from Saudi Arabia. 

Renewing Maguire’s deal might not be enough, as Amorim has made it clear that he is not going to ditch his system featuring three defenders.

As such, United would do well to add another player at the heart of their defence.

Man United enter race for Lukeba

According to CaughtOffside, United are keeping an eye on Lukeba, who has established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most resilient defenders.

The 22-year-old is known for his ability to bring the ball out from the back. Further, the Frenchman is dominant in the air and possesses impressive recovery pace. 

His well-rounded profile has also attracted interest from Liverpool and Chelsea....
