Manchester United are reportedly not interested in signing PSG full-back Serge Aurier this summer despite reports that he is closing in on a move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United are reportedly not interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain full-back Serge Aurier this summer despite speculation that he was close to completing a move to Old Trafford.

Reports earlier this week suggested that the Red Devils had agreed a five-year contract with the 24-year-old and were closing in on a £27m deal.

However, Sky Sports News reports that United are not in the race to sign the Ivory Coast international, who is currently banned from entering the UK having assaulted a police officer outside a Paris nightclub last year.

PSG are understood to be open to Aurier leaving the club this summer following the arrival of Dani Alves, while Neymar's impending world-record arrival is likely to force them to offload a number of players in order to adhere to financial fair play regulations.

United have signed Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic so far this summer, while they have also been heavily linked with a move for Ivan Perisic.

Aurier made 22 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG last season.
