Done Deal: PSG Star Agrees Manchester United Move After Talks With Jose Mourinho

Manchester United have agreed a deal in principle to bring Paris Saint Germain defender Serge Aurier to the Old Trafford next season.

The Ivorian right-back has been regarded as one of the best full backs in the Ligue 1 due to his energetic displays, and has touted to make a switch to the Premier League in recent weeks with reports that Arsene Wenger is an admirer of his qualities.

Reports in L’Equipe claims that Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants to sign the Ivorian in a bid to create competition at the right-back position which is currently occupied by Antonio Valencia, who has been a brilliant figure at the Old Trafford this season but he is already past 30 years of age and the Portuguese boss wants to brings a younger full-back next summer.

The reports also claims that Serge Aurier has agreed to join Manchester United next summer following successful talks with Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho signed fellow Ivorian defender Eric Bailly during the last summer transfer window, who has proved to be a quality signing for United this season and the Portuguese boss views Aurier as a best solution for the Red Devils.

However, what remains yet to be known is whether Aurier will be allowed into England after he was denied entry into the country during PSG’s Champions League tie against Arsenal due to his conviction in 2016 for assaulting a police officer in France.

It is also understood that Paris Saint Germain is in no rush to sell the 24-year-old who still has two years on his current deal at Parc du Princes.
