The Italian may be forced to sell him to comply with FFP
Manchester United are looking to bolster their squad in the transfer window after an underwhelming campaign last season, not winning a single silverware.
The Red Devils are expected to be very busy in the summer transfer window and has started the transfer window in an excellent way. They have already completed two signings, teenage full-back Diogo Dalot has signed from Porto, while a £52.5 million fee has been agreed with Shakhtar Donetsk for Brazil international Fred.
Despite having the most clean sheets and the second best defensive record in the Premier League last term, Jose Mourinho was not happy as he had to rely on auxiliary full-backs and failed to settle on a consistent central defensive axis due to injuries and inconsistency.
The Portuguese manager is targeting a top class centre-back this summer despite spending big on defenders in the past two years. The club have been linked with the likes of Samuel Umtiti, Toby Alderweireld and Jerome Boateng in the past few months.
Manchester United are eyeing a possible move for AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci, reports Yahoo Sport UK.
Bonucci, who is rated as one of the finest defenders in the world, joined the Italian side from rivals Juventus for a €42 million fee last summer. But has endured a trouble campaign and has been the victim of instability at the club, managing to make 47 appearances in all competitions.
After spending around £200 million last summer to strengthen the squad, the Serie A giants finished sixth in the league and will miss the Champions League next season. The club may be forced to sell their assets this summer in order to comply with the Financial Fair Play regulations.
Mourinho is monitoring the 31 year old’s situation and could make a move for him if he is allowed to leave the club. The Italian defender would offer some incredible experience to their defence.
