PSG Transfer News: Serge Aurier Departure 'Agreed' Amid Latest Rumours

Manchester United have reportedly reached a verbal agreement to sign Paris Saint-Germain right-back Serge Aurier in the summer.

According to L'Equipe (via Metro), Aurier, 24, has held talks with Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho and agreed to move to United at the end of the season after three years at the Parc des Princes. 

It's reported the Ivorian would be installed as United's first-choice right-back and is seen as "a long-term solution to [the club's] right side of defence problem," where Antonio Valencia has played unchallenged for most of 2016-17.

Traditionally a winger, Valencia, 31, has been brilliant for United this season at right-back, per football writer Liam Canning:

He and Aurier would be a formidable pair for Mourinho to pick from, while the addition of the Ivory Coast international could allow Valencia to be deployed further forward again. 

Aurier's contract at PSG runs to 2019, and L’Equipe reported the French giants are not keen to let him go (via Metro).

However, French football writer Matt Spiro believes PSG see Aurier as expendable, saying he could be available for as little as €20 million (£16.7 million):

Either way, Aurier would be a fine signing for United, as he has the potential to be one of the best full-backs in Europe given his pace and power.

He has endured troubled times in Paris and been embroiled in a number of controversies—one of the most significant being his insulting tirade against then-manager Laurent Blanc and some of his team-mates via Periscope early last year, per ESPN FC's Jonathan Johnson.

As a result, it would not be a huge surprise if PSG were keen to get rid of him. United could be the beneficiaries, with Mourinho likely confident he could improve Aurier's prospects.
