The Colombian defender has been flooded with offers after his fine World Cup campaign but the last one to reach his desk is extremely tempting

Barcelona's Colombian centre back, Yerry Mina, has received an offer that might just tempt the youngster to leave the Camp Nou after all. So far the defender has rejected interest from other teams as he wants another chance to prove himself at Barcelona. However, according to information from France, it appears Manchester United are the latest team to ask about his situation and that could change his mindset altogether.

French outlet 'RMC' claim that Jose Mourinho is a huge fan of Mina's and wants to bring him to Old Trafford as he looks to strengthen his defence. Mina's agent, who is also his uncle, hasn't hid the fact there are lots of offers for his client but has repeatedly stated that until the pair have spoken with Barcelona they won't search for a new club.

Manchester United's offer for Mina came after it was revealed Lyon had bid €30m for the Colombian international.

If the offer proves to be genuine and the player is told to look for a new club, it's hard to see how he'd turn down the chance to sign for United.
