Manchester United have entered a race with Bayern Munich to sign Ivory Coast defender Ousmane Diomande, with the Sporting CP player attracting major attention ahead of the upcoming Egypt clash.
Reports said United have been tracking Diomande closely as they look to strengthen their back line, but Bayern have also stepped in and are pushing for the same target.
Diomande, who plays for Sporting CP, has impressed this season with his strong displays, making him one of the most wanted young defenders in Europe.
The revealed detail in the report is that Manchester United and Bayern Munich are both competing directly for Diomande’s signature, turning the situation into a head-to-head battle.
The interest comes at a key moment for the player on international duty, as Ivory Coast prepare for their meeting with Egypt, with Diomande among the names in focus ahead of that fixture.
For United, the move would fit their plan to add more depth and quality in defence, while Bayern are also keen to reinforce and see Diomande as an ideal option for the future.
