‘Very special’ offer now needed to sign ‘fantastic’ Euro 2024 defender after Manchester United interest

Manchester United continue to chase centre back signings this summer despite pulling off a deal for Lille wonderkid Leny Yoro last week.

Erik ten Hag, just like many Manchester United fans, knew that he simply had to bolster his defensive options this summer.

Lisandro Martinez is undeniably a quality defender, but he has simply missed too many games over the years.

Raphael Varane has gone and question marks surround the likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof heading into the new season.

United pulled off quite the deal last week, snapping up Lille sensation Leny Yoro in a £52million deal.

The Frenchman’s arrival has really captured the imagination of United fans but it is important to remember that he is still only 18.

United need other defensive options too and that could be a real focus between now and the end of the transfer window.

Feyenoord chief on David Hancko
United continue to chase Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt but a deal for the Dutchman is proving a little tricky.

Bayern have rejected United’s latest offer, believed to be worth less than £30million, and it’s unclear whether the gap can be bridged.

United do have other targets on the radar though and one of them is Feyenoord’s David Hancko.

Reports earlier in July suggested that United have been considering a move to sign Hancko, but fear he may be too expensive for the role in mind.
