United have looked poor in the central defensive department this season. Manager Erik ten Hag He hasn't been able to maintain a combination for several games due to injury setbacks. Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martínez, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans have spent time on the sidelines.

Of the quintet, only Maguire is fit at the current stage of the campaign. This has been a big drawback for United and their aim will be to sign an outstanding centre-back who also has a good fitness record. Bremer seems an ideal candidate, since he has not suffered a single injury during the course of the campaign.

In addition to his excellent physical form, the Brazilian also has attributes that would suit the first division. He is a physically built centre-back, who likes to clear his lines and win duels regularly. He also possesses good recovery pace and has the ability to control possession with his good ability to play the ball from the back.

The Frenchman's career at United has been hampered by several injuries and the hierarchy has chosen not to renew his contract. There is an option to hold it for another 12 months, but it has not been activated either.
