Man Utd eye move for Philippe Mexes

Manchester United are reportedly mulling over a summer move for AC Milan defender Philippe Mexes.

The Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is keen on signing a top-class centre-back before the conclusion of the transfer window.

Recent reports reveal that United have stalled on talks with Sporting Lisbon over the potential transfer of Marcos Rojo to the club.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Mancunian giants have now identified Mexes at the perfect alternative to solve their defensive crisis this season.

It is believed that the Frenchman could be available at a bargain price of just £3m this summer.
