Manchester United are reportedly closing in on the signing of Barcelona's Samuel Umtiti following the defender's poor performance against Roma.

Manchester United have reportedly edged closer to the signing of Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.

The France international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with United and Manchester City apparently willing to meet the player's £52m release clause.

According to The Express, the Barca hierarchy were not pleased with Umtiti's performance in Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat at Roma, which knocked the Blaugrana out of the Champions League.

The report suggests that the 24-year-old will be replaced in the summer by Nice centre-back Malang Sarr for £52m, allowing Jose Mourinho to recruit the Barca man in a bid to bolster his defence.

Umtiti has made 79 appearances for Barca since his 2016 move from Lyon.
