The Frenchman was the Red Devils' top centre-back target last year, but they could not afford him due to Financial Fair Play issues.

The club were hoping to sign him after parting ways with Harry Maguire , but the former captain made the decision to stay instead.

United have been fancied to return for his services, but a deal looks difficult to pull off due to the demands of the French outfit.

The Red Devils have been told to pay between £47-51 million for the centre-back. They are reluctant to go over £34m for him.

Nice are currently owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe , who is also the co-owner of United, but the Red Devils won't get any advantage.

Hence, United may have to look elsewhere to reinforce their central defensive department ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

They have been linked with Juventus' Gleison Bremer in recent weeks.
