Man Utd linked with move for Bayern defender Dante

Manchester United are hoping to ease their defensive concerns with a big money move for Brazilian centre back Dante. The 30-year-old is being lined up as a replacement for Nemanja Vidic.

Since his arrival at Bayern Munich in 2012, the player has gone on to prove to be an important part of the Bavarian side's first team and is now being linked with a move to England.

The 6 foot 2 centre back is reportedly available for a fee of around 7 million Euros and could be David Moyes' second major signing of the January transfer window and follow Juan Mata to Old Trafford.
