If you’re a young up and coming professional who has enjoyed a breakthrough season, getting linked with Manchester United is like a rite of passage.

Some of the bigger names around the world have all been through it at one point, and Tanguy Ndombélé is no different thanks to Le10 Sport.

According to the French website, who continue a story started by Paris United earlier this month, the Lyon midfielder was the subject of many Manchester United scouting trips, with the process described as ‘very thorough’.

While Le10 remind everyone of their past claims that José Mourinho has made Fred his ‘big priority’ this summer to bolster his midfield, they also explain the Portuguese manager would ideally like another recruit to go alongside him.

However, before that happens, he would need a few current Manchester United players to depart, although who those could be isn’t made clear.

Were that to happen, then Tanguy Ndombélé could ‘quickly become an option’ this summer.

For the time being, the Red Devils are said to be focusing on Fred and getting rid of the current deadwood, meaning it could be one for later on in the summer.

It’s no surprise to hear that Manchester United are keeping tabs on exciting players around Europe, but for now, until a move is made, it’s just a case of wait and see.
