According daily mailNice defender Jean-Clair Todibo remains an option for manchester united in the stream transfer window.

Man United recently agreed personal terms with Jarrad Branthwaite and are currently in negotiations with Everton about a possible transfer. The Red Devils seem determined to sign the young Englishman, but could also look for another central defender signing alongside him.

daily mail They claim that Todibo continues to be on the club's radar. The Frenchman was the subject of great interest from the Red Devils last summer, but no transfer materialised. However, there is a chance they could make a renewed approach to the highly-rated centre-back.

United were linked with Todibo during the final month of the 2023 summer transfer window but no formal offer was made. The club wanted to separate Harry Maguire to get his signature, but the England international decided not to undertake a new challenge outside of Old Trafford.

We will not be surprised if United adopt a new strategy. Todibo is one of the best ball defenders in Ligue 1. He completed 92% of his passes last season with more than 7 recoveries per league game. The 24-year-old ace also impressed with his tackling and his ability to clear his lines effectively.

L'Equipe It was recently reported that it could sell for just £21 million. For the price mentioned, Todibo seems an obvious signing for United. He is a right-footed central defender and could be considered a direct replacement for Raphael Varane, whose contract with the Red Devils expires at the end of the month.

United could sign both Branthwaite and Todibo in the current transfer window. Apart from Varane, there is a possibility that Victor Lindelof is on his way out and his contract expires next summer. The Swedish star is attract interest of the Turkish club Fenerbahce, where he could reunite with his former United coach, José Mourinho.
