DBasia.news – If we count it thoroughly, Manchester United have 7 players who can play as the central back, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, and Axel Tuanzebe.
However, the 7 players aren’t satisfying enough for Jose Mourinho who is still searching for the strength of the defensive line of Man United. This is proved by the rumor of Man United transfer targeting to Leicester City defender, Harry Maguire.
The 25-year-old central defender is considered ideal to strengthen Man United’s defensive line. Besides tough and straightforward, Maguire can also scores a goal from a dead ball. He played well with the England national team in the 2018 World Cup.
Maguire’s price tag is £50M. If the former Hull City defender comes to Old Trafford, it means that Man United will have 8 central defenders. It’s too much.
Man United will obviously sell or loan the rest. One of the players who worry about this is the Argentinian defender, Marcos Rojo. Telegraph reported Rojo might be the victim to give space for Maguire.
If it happens, selling Rojo won’t be easy. The 28-year-old player has £100,000 salary-a-week. The high salary will be a pressure to the potential clubs interested to the former Sporting Lisbon defender.
