So, here in Spain Umtiti's situation was being talked sotto voce this week since Barcelona could have overbooking of CB's (Pique, Lenglet, Umtiti, De Ligt and Todibo) and now the speculation has started.
As anyone could imagine, United and Umtiti seem like a perfect match for the next summer, so the press has started talking about this link, and English sources are picking it up too.

Even Catalan sportspapers reporting (or parading) the idea.
Personally, I'd love this move to happen for all parts, the only doubt about it is how well will Umtiti's knee be in the future, after he opted for a conservative treatment instead of an operation, something that has kept him out for six months.
