Manchester United are in the market for a number of defensive signings. They have been linked with a number of centre-backs since the end of the season which will hopefully solve their issues both in and out of possession at the back.
Jurrien Timber is wanted at Old Trafford due to his Ajax links with Erik ten Hag and many fans have theorised that he could play as a right-back, who acts as the right centre-back in a three during phases where United have possession. But the club's other defensive targets all fit a similar profile.
The Manchester Evening News understands that Pau Torres from Villarreal and David Carmo from Braga have both been scouted by United, while Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the club have entered the race to sign Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan alongside Tottenham Hotspur and the Telegraph has reported that Josko Gvardiol is also of interest.
