PSG star Serge Aurier ‘agrees terms with Manchester United’… but faces court hearing to get into UK
MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain right-back Serge Aurier, according to reports.
But any move for the Ivorian, 24, is subject to the outcome of his court case, reports .
Aurier was banned from entering the UK after being convicted of assault, following his arrest in May last year.
The controversial defender was found guilty of assaulting a police officer outside a nightclub in Paris after he was stopped to take a breath test.
It meant he was unable to travel to England for PSG's 2-2 draw with Arsenal in November.
Aurier has since appealed against the conviction and has a hearing scheduled for August 7 to determine whether or not his travel ban has been lifted.
PSG allowed Aurier to find another club following the arrival of Dani Alves on a free this summer.
United are looking for a new right-back to challenge Antonio Valencia and ultimately succeed him.

Jose Mourinho still wants a few new faces before the season kicks off in a fortnight.
