standard.co.uk

Manchester United are favourites to sign Racing defender Salinas after Barcelona declined to pay his €16m release clause, boosting their search for a left-back. Newcastle rejected an initial enquiry for Lewis Hall, prompting United to pursue Salinas, who impressed scouts at the Under-19 European Championship. Racing's sporting director said the 19-year-old can leave only if his €16m release clause is triggered. Salinas had prioritised joining Barcelona, but the La Liga champions are unwilling to meet his clause. United, ready to pay, seek competition for Luke Shaw under manager Michael Carrick.
