Manchester United 'interested in signing Braga defender David Carmo'

Braga defender David Carmo has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United.

The 21-year-old, who was linked with Roma and Fiorentina during the summer transfer window, only made his Primeira Liga debut in January and has since appeared on 23 occasions in Portugal's top flight.

Carmo has missed Braga's last two league games through suspension but was a constant in the early stages of the 2020-21 campaign, already making eight appearances in all competitions.

According to ESPN, United are keen on the central defender, who helped Portugal's Under-19 side win the 2018 Under-19 European Championships.

The report, though, claims that the Red Devils would have to shift either Phil Jones or Marcos Rojo, who are both out of favour at Old Trafford, in order to move for Carmo.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side also continue to be linked with RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano.
