Man United want to sign Lens defender Facundo Medina

French media outlet La Voix du Nord, as quoted by The Sun, is reporting that Manchester United are interested in a swoop to sign the promising defender in the January transfer window.

The same article states that the Red Devils are “very serious” about completing a deal to sign the 21-year-old this month to continue to build for their future.

According to the same story, Manchester United are ready to launch an £11m bid to sign Medina before potentially loaning back the young defender to Lens for the rest of the campaign.

La Voix du Nord, however, claim that Manchester United are unlikely to strike a deal this month given that Lens don’t want to sell the former River Plate defender in January.
