Manchester United are reportedly pulling away from Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Marseille in the transfer race to sign Lens defender Jonathan Clauss, ...

The Red Devils have failed to find a long-term solution on that flank in recent years, with the Dutch tactician already hinting that United's left-hand side is superior. At 29, however, he's still got plenty to give, and going by the determination and willpower that he's shown throughout his fairytale career, don't get against him proving the doubters wrong again. If I was to leave it would hurt me, but that's football, and if I stay it will be with great pleasure." Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone reportedly harboured the same admiration, but Ten Hag is in line to become the lucky recipient. The 29-year-old has entered the final 12 months of his contract with Lens, explaining the cut-price fee. Ten Hag and Co. took Malacia from within Lyon's grip earlier this month, with Clauss set to follow.

The 20-time English champions have also improved their centre-back options with the arrival of Lisandro Martinez, who is expected to battle Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof for a starting role during the 2022-23 campaign. Ethan Laird is currently battling to be a first-team option for Erik ten Hag next term, with the youngster on the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia. Clauss only made his international debut for France in March, and he has since represented the Blues on four occasions, with the defender bidding to be in the squad for the 2022 World Cup.

Word stemming from the European media on Monday points towards Premier League giants Manchester United closing on another summer signing. The latest.

The assumption, in turn, is that the Red Devils have too opened negotiations with their counterparts at Lens, with a view to striking a transfer agreement over the course of the coming weeks. Such impressive production, meanwhile, did not go at all unnoticed across the continent, with a whole host of big-name clubs understood to have expressed interest in Clauss’ signature throughout the summer to date. The latest player tipped to take his talents to Old Trafford with a view to the 2022/23 campaign?

The then-undiscovered teen genius worked a variety of jobs, such as packing sausages at a local butcher’s shop and completing night hours at a postal sorting centre, so that he could pay for his higher education. Their possible new addition has excellence in both areas, as evidenced by the fact that Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot will be keeping a watchful eye on their progress while they are on tour in Australia. Although the Argentine was the first defensive player to be signed during Erik Ten Hag’s tenure as head coach of the Netherlands, it is possible that Ten Hag would attempt to add depth to the right side of the defence in the near future.

United conceded 57 goals in the league, finishing the season with a goal difference of 0.

One possible addition is Lens defender Jonathan Clauss, who is reported by the Evening Standard to be a target for United.

He has also progressed (going forward). A player who scores or who scores three, four, five, six goals is also an added value.” If United really are serious, the club will have to move quickly to get a deal done for the France international. I do not know where he will stop.

From there, the right-back has flourished and has been named in the Ligue 1 team of the season for the last two years. It followed a report in Le10Sport last week that claimed United and Chelsea were interested in Clauss, meanwhile, the Evening Standard also reported the Red Devils were ready to battle with Chelsea for his signature, and could cost as little as £8m. The Frenchman, who has also been linked with a move to Chelsea, only has a year remaining on his current deal and his meteoric rise in recent seasons has seen him named as a reported target for several top European clubs.

Just a couple of days ago, Manchester United were reportedly in pole position for the signing of RC Lens full-back Jonathan Clauss.

Lens are not in the best position to negotiate for a rise in fee due to the player having only a year left in his contract. Wan Bissaka has played a single half while academy graduate Ethan Laird playing in the second half against Melbourne Victory. The left side has always been United’s strong suit with either Luke Shaw bombing forward and Alex Telles having a wicked delivery. Lens were hoping for more teams to enter the fray which would have meant they would have a received a much higher fee. Full agreement completed after the opening bid made 10 days ago, Lens have accepted €8m fee. Jonathan Clauss will undergo medical tests as new OM player in the morning.

Lens had allowed him to be sold to a new project provided they would receive an adequate transfer fee. With the Artois side’s asking price previously being reported as €10m, the deal will now take the form of a €9m base fee along with €2m in bonuses to buy out the final year of his contract. L’Équipe report this morning that Marseille have reached a broad agreement with Lens in the night to sign wing-back Jonathan Clauss, with the French international now set to undergo his medical and sign a three-year contract.

Those stories suggested that an approach to acquire the Frenchman had been made by the Old Trafford club, as Erik ten Hag presumably sees Clauss as an upgrade ...

They’ve been massively underwhelming over the last year or so and the club could absolutely do with an upgrade in that area of the field. What this also tells us is that United could be edging closer to moving on from one of their current right-backs. As you can see, this feels like a transfer that’s moving really fast, which makes sense given the low transfer fees I’m seeing online (around the £7-10m mark).

The latest Man United transfer rumours as Erik ten Hag reportedly nears a move for Jonathan Clauss.

According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea had also been interested in his services, with Thomas Tuchel identifying him as an ideal full-back for his system. Atletico Madrid have also been linked with the experienced right-back. Reports from Portugal suggest that a move is close for the 29-year-old, with Ten Hag eager to sign a new right-back following the Manchester Evening News' report that United are open to selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Manchester United and Chelsea will not be able to follow up tentative interest in Jonathan Clauss after Marseille had a bid accepted for the full-back.

Clauss impressed for Lens in Ligue 1 last season, contributing five goals and 11 assists. As for Man Utd and Chelsea, their interest in Clauss was never firmed up and they will now look elsewhere. But reports last week claimed that Man Utd would wait to move for Clauss until they shifted Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Chelsea held interest on the same terms amid doubt over Cesar Azpiliceuta’s future.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United's target, Jonathan Clauss is set to sign for Marseille this summer.

However, Inter Milan’s valuation for the right-back has been a major stumbling block. However, Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s future is uncertain and he could be open to leaving the club. Clauss rose to stardom after his fine performances for the mid-table French club.
