What happened. Manchester United could approach RB Leipzig for French defender Castello Lukeba, who is rated at around €65m. After reshaping their attack and midfield in recent windows, United are now turning their attention to the backline.

• United have leaned toward Premier League-proven signings recently but are ready to look overseas.
• Lukeba is described as a French defensive sensation at Leipzig.
• The move is framed as ambitious given the €65m valuation.

If United firm up their interest, Leipzig's valuation will shape whether a deal gets off the ground.
