Ben Yedder agrees personal terms with Manchester United

Manchester United fans wouldn't have forgotten Ben Yedder- the Sevilla striker, whose impressive brace knocked them out of the UEFA Champions League in the 2017-18 season. Now, as per the latest reports, the Red Devils have agreed terms with the 28-year-old ahead of a potential switch to Old Trafford.

Manchester United are lining up replacements for Romelu Lukaku as he becomes increasingly linked with a move to Inter Milan. The Red Devils would ideally want for the big Belgian to stay put and compete for a starting spot with Rashford. However, they are ready to let him leave should a good offer be tabled.

The Sevilla frontman has been on fire and scored 30 goals from 54 appearances last season and has been on the radar of top clubs like PSG and Barcelona. He is now keen on joining Manchester United irrespective of what happens with Romelu Lukaku, as per the report.

Ben Yedder's release clause stands at £35 million and therefore, he will be a bargain if United choose to go ahead and trigger it.
