Man City officials meet with Umtiti

Manchester City are in contact with Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.

L’Equipe says City have moved ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign him after holding a face-to-face meeting.

Umtiti has been heavily linked with a move away from Barcelona this month, with Manchester United and Manchester City said to be interested in the Frenchman.

The Manchester clubs have both been tipped to trigger his £53m release clause at the Nou Camp as they look to bolster their defences.

Both Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola have suffered injuries in the heart of defence this season – and a new centre-half signing in January is now on the agenda.
