Man Utd given green light to complete signing but face Steven Gerrard obstacle

Boubacar Kamara has confirmed that he will be leaving Marseille this summer amid links of a move to Manchester United.

The 23-year-old turned down a contract offer from the French giants in favour of seeking "a new challenge" which could be at Old Trafford as part of Erik ten Hag 's revolution. The new Red Devils boss is determined to sign a midfielder over the coming months, with it being a problem position for predecessors Ralf Rangnick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

"After long reflections, nights when we do not sleep, where we weigh the pros and cons, I decided not to extend, to leave OM at the end of the season," Kamara told Telefoot after Marseille ended their season by thrashing Strasbourg 4-0. "This is the best decision for the rest of my career. I want to evolve, to discover a new challenge."
