Manchester United 'in advanced talks to sign Lens wing-back Jonathan Clauss' but face renewed competition from Marseille who have 'submitted an improved £9.3m bid for the French international'

Manchester United are reportedly in advanced talks to sign French international Jonathan Clauss from Lens.

The right-sided wing-back has been subject to intense interest this summer, with Sportsmail revealing last week that Wolves had joined United and Chelsea in the race for his signature.

Ligue 1 side Marseille have also been named as a potential suitor should Clauss wish to stay in France.
