Jonathan Clauss

Just a couple of days ago, Manchester United were reportedly in pole position for the signing of RC Lens full-back Jonathan Clauss.

Lens are not in the best position to negotiate for a rise in fee due to the player having only a year left in his contract. Wan Bissaka has played a single half while academy graduate Ethan Laird playing in the second half against Melbourne Victory. The left side has always been United’s strong suit with either Luke Shaw bombing forward and Alex Telles having a wicked delivery. Lens were hoping for more teams to enter the fray which would have meant they would have a received a much higher fee. Full agreement completed after the opening bid made 10 days ago, Lens have accepted €8m fee. Jonathan Clauss will undergo medical tests as new OM player in the morning.
