Football News: Manchester United wants Monaco defender as asking price set

Manchester United have been advised that Monaco would demand a fee of £40 million to split ways with Axel Disasi this summer. The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their defence this summer as Erik Ten Hag looks to increase the squad depth.

According to a recent rumour, the 20-time English champions are leading the hunt to capture him ahead of Manchester City and Chelsea.The France international has two years left on his current deal, but Monaco are willing to trade him for the appropriate price.

According to Football Insider, Man United has been informed that a £40 million bid is required to capture Disasi's services.

According to the sources, United consider Disasi, along with Napoli center-back Kim Min-jae, to be one of their main defensive targets.
