“Man Utd are still monitoring potential new CBs, especially in light of the as-yet-undecided future of Varane and Maguire. Todibo and Antonio Silva are always in the spotlight, and Upamecano, open to evaluating an experience outside the Bundes, is also on the list.”

The 25-year-old, valued at around £43 million per Transfer market – is a talented player and could be a shrewd signing for Man Utd if they buy him. However, the Frenchman is not a calm defender and has a tendency to make serious mistakes.

Therefore, signing a player like him for a huge fee might not be a wise decision and therefore, it would be better for Man Utd to explore other options to strengthen their defensive line in the upcoming transfer window.
