Manchester United chiefs reportedly met with Thomas Lemar's agent as they look to rival Arsenal for the Atletico Madrid star’s signature.
French midfielder Lemar has struggled since joining Atletico in the summer of 2018 after helping his nation win the World Cup.
The 24-year-old has made 67 appearances in the Spanish capital, scoring just four goals, none of which have come this season.
Having failed to spark into form, Lemar, who initially joined Atletico for £62m, is now being linked with a move away from the club for a reduced fee.
