Manchester United are interested in signing Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, according to Manchester Evening News.

The Red Devils are confident of landing the signing of Paul Pogba from the Serie A champions, and, despite already having signed centre-back Eric Bailly this summer, are hoping to boost their defensive options.

The 29-year-old is said to top Jose Mourinho's targets when it comes to defenders, while Manchester City have also shown an interest in him.

With Pogba's departure seeming imminent, the Bianconeri are unlikely to want to sell another star player, especially as he has another four years left on his contract.

Medhi Benatia's arrival from Bayern Munich, however, could see Juve persuaded to sell should the right price be offered.
