Manchester United want to sign two new centre-backs

01 July 2021 - 20:54

Manchester United are reportedly planning to sign two central defenders during the summer transfer window.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder



  • The Red Devils are in negotiations with Real Madrid for Raphael Varane, and they could sign him in the coming weeks.

    The World Cup winner has rejected a new contract with Los Blancos. With just a year left on his deal, they are prepared to cash in.

    A fee of around €50m could be sufficient to sign the France international.

    According to Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are also interested in signing Villarreal centre-back Pau Torres this summer.

    They are unlikely to meet the €60m release clause. However, they could sign him for half the price with Eric Bailly moving the other way.

    United have regularly played with a 4-2-3-1 formation, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could set-up with a back three next season.

    Varane and Torres could feature either side of club-captain Harry Maguire. Torres could be used in rotation with Victor Lindelof.
