Man UTD preparing £30M bid for PSG defender Marquihos

Manchester United are launching a bid for PSG defender Marquinhos.

Le 10 Sport says United are ready to lodge a £30m bid for Marquinhos.

The Brazilian defender is not a first-team regular for Laurent Blanc's side with countrymen David Luiz and Thiago Luiz above him in the pecking order.

But despite his lack of game-time, he's still considered one of the best young defenders in world football.

Marquinhos joined PSG from Roma in a £27m deal in 2013.
