Manchester United have reportedly identified Roma defender Kostas Manolas as a potential summer signing, according to Leggo as quoted by The Sun.

The Red Devils will be in the market for a new centre-back, and a number of defenders have already been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

However, the aforementioned report claims that the 20-time English champions are considering to meet the release clause of Greece international, who will be available for a fee of £31m this summer.

Manchester United could potentially regard the 27-year-old as value for money with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also keen to bolster other areas of his first-team squad.

Manolas has enjoyed an impressive five-year spell with I Giallorossi.
