The Red Devils are in pole position to sign one of the Bundesliga side's brightest stars but they may already have a backup in mind
Manchester United are leading the race to sign Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui but it appears as though the Bundesliga side already have a replacement lined up if he does arrive at Old Trafford this summer.

The 26-year-old made 29 appearances in all competitions for Bayern last season but struggled with muscle fibre injuries on top of his participation with Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has returned to Bayern after a successful loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen last season meaning they already have the replacement in-house. The 24-year-old's stellar season under Xabi Alonso's double-winning side has seen interest in him go through the roof, having broken through into the starting XI at his loan club midway through the season.
