Manchester United have reportedly joined the race to sign Ivory Coast international Jean Michaël Seri.

English Premier League rivals Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have all been linked with the 26-year-old's signature with the Red Devils the latest club to express their interest in his services.

The Nice midfielder was close to joining Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona ahead of the 2017-18 season, following a breakthrough campaign in the French Ligue 1, but a proposed deal fell through.

Paris Saint Germain have also been linked with his in-demand signature with Seri spoiled for options.

Seri has played an integral role in Nice's rise over the past two seasons, with the club currently on a seven game unbeaten run in the league following a shaky start.
