Manchester United Transfer News: Ryan Sessegnon, Samuel Umtiti Rumours

Manchester United could target Ryan Sessegnon and Samuel Umtiti, as manager Jose Mourinho attempts to strengthen his squad.

Fulham prodigy Sessegnon is developing into one of the most exciting young talents in Europe, and his club have admitted the left wing-back could move on if a huge offer is made for his services.

Jamie Smith of Goal reported Real Madrid, Liverpool and Tottenham are also considering the 17-year-old, with the player rated at around £30 million.

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic declared the starlet's future is undecided after his excellent performances in the EFL Championship.

Per Smith, Jokanovic said:

"It's nice for him [to be linked with a move] and for the club too. And if you want to say, it's nice for myself, I must be satisfied because big clubs are interested in our player.

"I wish he is going to stay with me, but it's not in my control. I believe he's a clever man, believe the people around him are clever enough, he's played more than 50 games, he's 17.

"I know in the past in the last summer there's been interest around him but he took the decision to stay with us—a fantastic decision in my opinion."

Sessegnon is becoming a complete player on the left, able to play in defence or as a winger and provide goals and assists.

His attacking attributes have excited supporters at Craven Cottage, and he could soon be wearing the shirt of a major European superclub.

Here is the player in action:

Mourinho could also turn his attention to Barcelona defender Umtiti after reports emerged of a £50 million buyout clause in his current deal at the Camp Nou.

The Daily Mail's Pete Jenson reported United and Manchester City could face off for the player's services.

Both Manchester giants have questions at the heart of their defences, and Umtiti would represent good value if he could be tempted to England.

The Frenchman has featured 17 times in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League this term, with Barca in control of the title race in Spain.

The rejuvenation of Phil Jones has allowed Mourinho to rotate his players through the back four, but United lack top-class depth at centre-back.

Eric Bailly has struggled for fitness since the summer, and Chris Smalling's form has fluctuated.

Barca will be desperate to hold on to the 24-year-old talent they purchased from Lyon in 2016.

The price of defenders has rocketed in the past 12 months, and the forthcoming January transfer window could be the last opportunity to grab a bargain before fees and wages multiply next summer in a FIFA World Cup year.
