Manchester United have earmarked Dayot Upamecano's RB Leipzig team-mate Ibrahima Konate as a potential transfer target for the summer, reports The Independent.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will once again review United's centre-back options at the end of the season as he looks to take the club to the next level.
Eric Bailly has shown flashes of his potential again this season but his inability to stay injury free will likely cost him his career at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Axel Tuanzebe has not kicked on since returning to the club and Victor Lindelof flatters to deceive while still being highly thought of by Solskjaer.
United were previously linked with a move for Leipzig star Upamecano, who will leave the club at the end of the season, but are reportedly no longer in the running for him.
Bayern Munich are the favourites to land the 22-year-old and now United are looking at his defensive partner, Konate.
The 21-year-old was a key player for Leipzig during the 2018/19 campaign with 27 league starts to his name but has barely featured for the German outfit since then.
Konate has started only four league games this term and has just 14 Bundesliga appearances to his name since the beginning of last season.
The France international has not finished on the losing side from his 10 league starts since last season, while Leipzig's win ratio drops to 52.3% without him from the off.
