Man Utd to cough out £50m for ‘attack-minded’ defender – Report

Man Utd to cough out £50 million for England International – Micheal Bridge

It is quite unfortunate that Manchester United under Jose Mourinho have been unable to finalize on many of the major signings the club have been linked with.

The Red Devils have so far been able to sign just one major player in the person of Fred.

Mourinho, who is having his third season at Old Trafford wants to strengthen Manchester United weak defense as he has been seen making move to sign a new defender.

The Portugal international has complained about the tardiness of the club’s board towards signing new players as they have earlier stated that the club was already filled with too many defenders.

To reduce the number and create space for a new defender, the duo of Victor Lindelof and Macros Rojo are on their way out.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with Leicester City defender, Harry Maguire and sport reporter, Micheal Bridge has disclosed that Old Trafford will have to cough out at least £50 million before they can sign the England international.

It, however, remains a mystery if Man United board will accept to pay such an amount as they are already linked with Tottenham Hotspur defender, Toby and a Barcelona defender, Yerry Mina.
