Manchester United are once more looking to OGC Nice after scouting French side last summer.
Defender Jean-Clair Todibo was the centre of United’s attention at the time as The Red Devils searched for a new centre-back to replace Raphael Varane.
Ultimately Todibo joined West Ham United and Manchester United signed Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro in the role instead.
Now, Ruben Amorim’s side are once more looking to the Ligue 1 club, however not in defence, but in attack.

Manchester United scout Evann Guessand of OGC Nice
Stretty News has reported that United are looking at 23-year-old striker Evann Guessand ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Ivory Coast international has established himself as the club’s first-choice striker after coming through the Nice’s academy and having loans with Lausanne-Sport and FC Nantes.
This season, Guessand has grabbed 12 goals and eight assists in 36 games, and with youth on his side he fits INEOS’ profile of impressive young talent with future potential.
The striker also has diversity on his side, regularly being used on both wings as well as up front showing off his adaptability, with United reportedly interested in his physical strength, technical ability and his eye for goal.
However United will have to fend off Tottenham Hotspur who are also interested in the young striker.
United do have an ace up their sleeve though with links through Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company, who are co-owners of United, also own OGC Nice and Laussane-Sport, where Guessand went out on loan.
As such, INEOS’ recruitment will already be significantly aware of the star, helping the club’s scouting of him, which in turn could support United in signing the impressive striker.
