Manchester United are preparing a move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde in addition to their pursuit of Raphael Varane. United are pushing ahead with a move for Real Madrid star Varane, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also keen on a deal for Varane's French international team-mate Kounde.

United have already completed one major signing this summer, with Jadon Sancho arriving from Borussia Dortmund for £73million.
