Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Manchester United.

Despite having initially established himself as one of the club's top prospects after a move from Lorient, the 21-year-old has recently dropped down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta.

After showing a lack of discipline against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, Guendouzi was subsequently left out of the squad for the game against Southampton on Thursday, resulting in speculation regarding his long-term future at the Emirates Stadium.

At a time when a wide range of clubs are being linked with the Frenchman, L'Equipe claims that United are monitoring the situation.

Although the Premier League giants are well stocked for options in the middle of the pitch, it appears that they may be prepared to move for the opinion-dividing player.

Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to hold an interest in Guendouzi.
