Manchester United 'not interested in Dayot Upamecano'

Dayot Upamecano is not a target for Manchester United, leaving Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Liverpool to battle it out for the RB Leipzig ace.

Manchester United are seemingly no longer in the running to sign in-demand RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano.

The Red Devils were rumoured to have showed a strong interest in the France international as they seek a new long-term partner for Harry Maguire.

Upamecano's agent confirmed on Monday that there is a €42.5m (£37.45m) release clause in the defender's contract that kicks in at the end of the season.

However, United do not appear to be among those in the hunt to land the 22-year-old.

That is according to Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who has revealed that Chelsea and Liverpool are the two other teams rivalling the European champions for Upamecano.

"There are two other clubs interested in Dayot," Rummenigge told Sky Deutschland.

"When clubs like Chelsea or Liverpool are interested in him, it shows what qualities the player has."

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Monday afternoon that his side will not bring in any new recruits before tonight's deadline.

Following the Red Devils' failure to sign a new centre-back, outcast Phil Jones will now be added to their Premier League squad for the rest of the season.
