da cassino： Despite spending big-money on bringing Harry Maguire to reinforce their back-line last summer, it seems Manchester United are keen to make another addition to their defence this summer.
da dobrowin： According to French publication Le10 Sport, the Red Devils have made contact with the representatives of RB Leipzig starlet Ibrahima Konate ahead of a potential move.
Spot the fact from the fib: Are these Premier League records true or false?

The 20-year-old has barely featured this season, making just eight appearances for the first-team after suffering a torn muscle fibre. Prior to the injury, he had started and completed the full 90 minutes in Leipzig’s first five games in the German top-flight.
And after hearing about their links to Konate, United fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts about their latest transfer target.
A couple of United fans insisted that Konate is “better than” his Leipzig teammate Dayot Upamecano.
At just 20, Konate would represent both an investment for the here and now, and also for the future too.
But the one thing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must do this summer if he is intent on bringing Konate to the club, then he should be looking to get rid of the fringe players – the likes of Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling.
United have an abundance of centre-back options already and it simply wouldn’t make any sense at all to bring in another – however talented – without first selling a few.
