Manchester United's search for a new central midfielder appears to be continuing in Spain, with the Red Devils switching their attention from Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas to Sevilla's highly-rated Geoffrey Kondogbia.
New Manchester United boss David Moyes has struggled to add to his midfield options this summer, missing out on Thiago Alcantara to Bayern Munich and seeing Fabregas opt to remain at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona turning down two offers.
The English champions are thought to be looking at Luka Modric, but the Croatian does not want to leave Real Madrid.
But there is another player on the Old Trafford radar, in the form of Kondogbia, according to Concha Espina.

The 20-year-old midfielder has turned heads with Los Rojiblancos and has been the subject of strong interest from Real Madrid already this summer, with one bid from Los Blancos rejected.
Kondogbia shone in this summer's Under-20 World Cup, helping France to win the trophy, further raising his stock.
Sevilla are keen to keep hold of the player they bought last summer from French outfit Lens, but a big-money bid from Manchester United could cause a rethink at the Spanish side.
