MANCHESTER UNITED have made fresh contact regarding Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri, according to reports.
Doubts continue to grow over the future of Paul Pogba, leading to Jose Mourinho to step up his interest in the Ivory Coast international.

According to the Mirror, the Red Devils have contacted the 26-year-old’s representatives amid speculation the former Juventus star could depart Old Trafford this summer.
Seri has a release clause of £35million, and with United poised to lose both Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick at the end of the season, reinforcement is needed.
It is believed that Pogba and Mourinho have a strained relationship at the Theatre of Dreams, with the former Chelsea manager reportedly telling the Frenchman ‘I’m the boss’ in a furious training ground showdown.
While the Portuguese gaffer then told the £89million man he must earn his trust after he benched the midfielder twice in the last four games.

Seri is one of the most sought after players in Ligue 1, after bursting on the scene with the French club back in 2015.
He saw a move fall through to Barcelona last summer, while Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have all tracked the 16-cap international.

But with the Citizens hoping to push through a move to bring in Shakhtar Donestk ace Fred to the Etihad, a move to join their rivals looks more likely.
Seri has been one of the standout players for Nice this season in an otherwise disappointing season, appearing in 32 games in all competitions as Lucien Favre’s men sit ninth in the table.
