Manchester United will reportedly target Leicester City full-back Ricardo Pereira this summer, despite spending £50m on Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the last transfer window.

Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Leicester City right-back Ricardo Pereira, with the former Porto man said to have a buyout clause in his contract.

Pereira joined Leicester in the summer of 2018 for £22m and reportedly has a buy-out clause that will become active in July.

According to the Daily Star, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and a series of Serie A sides would be interested in triggering the Portuguese international's release at the end of this season.

The report adds that Leicester have no intention of letting Pereira go in January as they look to push for a top four finish.

The former Nice man was voted the Foxes' player of the season last year and has scored four goals in 57 appearances for the club.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side did spend £50m on right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the summer, but could still be keen on adding Pereira to their squad.
