Manchester United 'monitor' Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka and other rumours

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for Europa League-winning defender Evan Ndicka, according to reports.

United have had their defensive issues this season as they've broken the record for their leakiest Premier League season. The Reds have already reignited their interest in Villarreal centre-back Pau Torres as they look to add another defender in the upcoming transfer window.

One of those to have been linked with a move to Old Trafford is 22-year-old Frenchman, Ndicka. The Frankfurt man was instrumental in helping the Bundesliga side end their drought for a European honour as they beat Rangers on penalties in the Europa League final, this week.

According to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, United and Spurs are tracking the Auxerre academy graduate. He has a year remaining at Deutsche Bank Park but he has failed to rule out remaining in Hesse for their first-ever Champions League campaign and their first in the elite European competition since 1960.

Meanwhile, Eric Bailly has been linked with a move away from Manchester with Lyon reportedly registering interest in the Ivorian. The Reds defender has fallen down the pecking order this season, despite signing an extension last summer, and could be on his way out as Erik ten Hag prepares a summer clear out.

France media outlet But!FootballClub have reported that Lyon are exploring possibilities to sign the 28-year-old. Newcastle and Marseille have also previously been linked.
