With Manchester United looking to offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer, they are looking to land a new defender to compete with Diogo Dalot.
A new striker has been signed and a new centre-back but there are other gaps in the squad that need to be strengthened.
The Red Devils are eyeing a move for a midfielder and right-back, an attacking midfielder with a different quality to Wan-Bissaka.
The former Crystal Palace defender is likely to leave the club soon and to replace him, Man United have identified their targets.
The player has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford, just as Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries is entering the final year of his contract at San Siro.
A possible swap deal between the clubs for the two defenders has been hinted at, however, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given the latest update saying it is unlikely to happen.
Romano exclusively told GiveMeSport:
“They are considering many players in that position. So it is true that some mediators started discussing this idea between Wan-Bissaka and Dumfries. It is not a very simple thing. So for now, it’s not an advanced thing.
“But some mediators are trying to bring it to the table of both parties to see what will happen. But again, it’s not that simple.
“Both players are out of contract next year, that’s why this idea started. Let’s see what will happen between the clubs. Again, not something close or close. “
Man United are looking to strengthen their defense
The Red Devils are considering their right-back options as they need an attacking player who can support the defenders and someone who can suit manager Erik ten Hag’s style of play.
Despite a good performance from Wan-Bissaka where he showed his defensive quality, he has some limitations in his game and his ability to create an attacking third is limited.
Man United are looking for someone who can make runs, create chances, cut the ball when needed and Dumfries from Inter Milan is someone who can do that but as Romano said, the deal is still far from finalised.
