The Red Devils are interested in signing a right-back who can also play as a wing-back, and are convinced that either of these two players could do so.
However, Walker could be far more expensive than the Saints defender, as he still has four years left on his contract at White Hart Lane. Meanwhile Clyne has just one season left on his deal after the current campaign.
The 24-year-old would likely be a replacement for Antonio Valencia and the injury prone Rafael, who have played in the position throughout Louis van Gaal’s tenure as boss.
United need to improve their back line as they have had to rely heavily on the exploits of goalkeeper David de Gea to stop leaking goals this season.
