Manchester United are keeping tabs on Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, according to reports in England.
The 22-year-old has also been linked with Arsenal and he could cost as much as £50m, with his former club Chelsea expected to get a large slice of the fee due to a sell-on clause.
Fans on Twitter had a mixed reaction to United’s interest in Guehi, with some believing he would be a good addition to the squad, while others have questioned the defender’s asking price:
would be class… him or tomori would be great

Manager Erik ten Hag is said to be keen on recruiting a centre-half this summer. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Red Devils are tracking Napoli’s Kim Min-Jae, who is expected to be available for around the same price as Guehi.
Considering the South Korean international has just won the Serie A title with Napoli, he may well be better value for money, but we shall see who ten Hag ends up going after.
