Manchester United are reportedly ready to go head to head with West Ham for the signing of Kevin Malcuit.

United attempted to sign the Saint Etienne full-back in January and are expected to renew their interest in him in the summer.

Reports emanating from France claim the Old Trafford club will look to hijack the move for the 25-year-old, who impressed against the Red Devils in the Europa League.

A utility player, Malcuit is capable of playing in both defence and midfield, but is generally deployed as a full-back.
