Manchester United dealt blow in their pursuit of promising Lens defender Facundo Medina as 'AC Milan eye summer move for him and team-mate Loic Bade'

AC Milan are eyeing up a summer move for Lens' central defender Facundo Medina, it is reported.

The Serie A giants are said to be looking at options to replace Alessio Romagnoli in defence.

However, Stefano Pioli's side will have to compete with Manchester United for the 21-year-old's signature.

Medina - who joined Lens from Argentine side Talleres last summer for just over £2.7million - has excelled in Ligue 1 this season.

The 21-year-old's composure and ability on the ball, and his defensive reading of the game are his standout attributes.
