Manchester United have been given the go-ahead to sign Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti this summer, according to reports from Spain.
Frenchman Umtiti has suffered with a number of injuries recently and the Spanish giants are happy to let him head to Old Trafford for a relatively bargain price of £46million, Spanish outlet Sport claim.
The report says Barcelona are planning an overhaul of their defence and want to use the funds from the sale of Umtiti to bring in a young, exciting replacement - with Villarreal's Pau Torres a target.
