Manchester United are reportedly one of a number of clubs who have expressed an interest in Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.

Manchester United have reportedly identified Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina as a potential summer signing.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to strengthen in the centre of the pitch due to the departure of Ander Herrera and potential exit of Paul Pogba.

Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, although it appears that the academy graduate is not the only player being considered by Solskjaer.

According to the Daily Mail, United are contemplating whether to make an official approach for Lemina, who will be allowed to leave St Mary's ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

The 25-year-old has made a total of 52 appearances during his time at the Saints, which includes 38 starts in England's top flight.

The south-coast outfit will allegedly look to recoup close to the £18m fee which they paid for the Gabon international in 2017.
