Steven Gerrard appears to have disrupted Manchester United's transfer plans after personally scouting Marseille's Boubacar Kamara.
The Aston Villa boss was reportedly at the Stade Velodrome to watch the midfielder star in the French heavyweight's 3-2 victory over Nantes on Wednesday evening. Kamara has been heavily linked with a move away from Marseille ahead of the summer transfer window, with his deal expiring in two months' time.
But while the Red Devils - who announced Erik ten Hag as their new manager on Thursday - are keen to land his signature, RMC Sport, via Sport Witness, claims that Gerrard made a personal trip to the south of France to see his 'priority target' in action. Playing the full 90 minutes, the 22-year-old impressed his potential suitors and showed exactly why Villa have already offered him a lucrative contract, according to reports.
