Manchester United are reportedly contemplating whether to reignite their interest in Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

Manchester United are reportedly prepared to consider an approach for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly during the summer transfer window.

While United are well stocked for options in the middle of their defence, they have struggled in that area of the pitch this season with goalkeeper David de Gea making the most saves in the Premier League.

Although many players have performed below their best, captain Harry Maguire has been a target for criticism, and it is unclear how much longer the Englishman will remain as first choice.

According to Fichajes, United may make a new bid for Koulibaly, who has been strongly linked with a switch to Old Trafford in the past.

The Senegal international turns 31 years of age in June, something which will put off many clubs when it comes to meeting Napoli's valuation.

However, as a result of his contract expiring in 2023, the report claims that the player may be available for €40m (£33.29m), a cut-price fee which may alert a wide range of clubs.
