Manchester United have reportedly approached Borussia Monchengladbach over the availability of Manu Kone.
The 21-year-old has made 27 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, notching two goals and one assist. According to L’Equipe, Kone is facing an uncertain future at the German club after they finished 10th in the table.
Atletico Madrid and Juventus are also believed to be interested in the youngster. Kone is said to be open to a move away from Monchengladbach due to their recent 'mediocrity'. United's former interim boss Ralf Rangnick is believed to be a huge admirer of the midfielder.

Botman made 32 appearances for the Ligue 1 club last season and Lille are believed to want £25.5m to secure the transfer. United are looking to improve their defence in the summer.
