The red devils have been plotting a potential transfer for the French defender throughout this month and the player himself is reportedly interested in making the move to Old Trafford in the near future.

However, if United really wants Mendy, they must move quickly to get him as the report additionally stated that Napoli could also make a move for the French U-21 international in the summer.
