PSG defender agrees to join Man United

PSG & Man United

Big news has been revealed by L’Equipe on Wednesday claiming that Man United are on the verge of their first signing of the summer.

In the past few months, Man United have been linked with a host of defenders as it’s been clear that Jose Mourinho intends to strengthen his backline before the start of next season.

Matteo Darmian, Phil Jones, and Chris Smalling all seem to be in danger of losing their spots in the squad next term.

So who are United looking at?

L’Equipe’s update is that PSG right-back Serge Aurier is looking to join the gang at Old Trafford.

Not only is the Special One keen on Aurier, but the 24-year-old has reportedly told Mourinho that he’s ready to join the Red Devils.

Under contract in Paris until 2019, Aurier could cost Man United 20 million euros.

But is he really the man United should be after?

Many United fans will be surprised by the links to Aurier.

Antonio Valencia is arguably the best defender at the Theatre of Dreams, and many will wonder if Aurier could oust him from the team.

Moreover, the PSG defender comes with a long wrap sheet of dodgy behaviour.

In recent times Aurier has been sentenced to two months in prison for assaulting a police officer, he’s been investigated by FIFA for ‘throat slit’ gesture during an international match with the Ivory Coast, and he’s previously been banned from entering the UK.

Is this really the type of guy Man United should be signing?
