Manchester United set to sign defender in £20m deal

Manchester United look set to sign Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne in a sensational £20 million deal, according to the Daily Star.

The 23-year-old looks set to be yet another player departing St Marys, with Louis Van Gaal eyeing a new right-back as an essential acquisition.

The Red Devils are in dire need of extra cover for the right-back position with Antonio Valencia being utilised as a wing-back, when he is normally a midfielder.

Manchester United completed a deal to sign Saints defender Luke Shaw last summer for £28 million, and the club look set to raid the South Coast club yet again.

The Daily Star say that Manchester United sent a number of scouts to watch Clyne in action in recent matches.

United currently lie in fourth position in the Barclays Premier League, in what has been an up and down season for the club.
