Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is preparing for life without much-maligned defender Harry Maguire as reports emerge of two centre-backs being linked with a move to Old Trafford
Manchester United could finish the summer transfer window as the busiest Premier League side amid links to two new centre-backs as Harry Maguire’s future is cast into doubt.
The Red Devils have already landed the signatures of Mason Mount and Andre Onana this summer, two players that are expected to come in and immediately start for Erik ten Hag’s side. Another mega-money addition is on the way as Ramsus Hojlund is set to undergo his United medical on Tuesday ahead of his £72million switch from Atalanta.
That would take United’s summer spending to north of £150m so far, and yet another two new players have found themselves as the subject of links to Ten Hag’s side, as per MailSport. Central defender Jean-Clair Todibo has enjoyed a stellar two years at Ligue 1 outfit Nice and is now on the Red Devils’ radar.
Still only 23, Todibo is significantly younger than many of United’s current defensive options and Ten Hag may like the idea of adding some youth to his back-line. If the France under-20 international were to arrive at Old Trafford, it’s unlikely he’d be a starter right away.
