Quality €43m Superstar Eager to Join Manchester United

Red Devils continue to be in the lime light as far as transfer speculations are concerned but still haven’t secured a deal yet.
Manchester United need two top central defenders to replace the likes of Nemanka Vidic and Rio Ferdinand and they must act swiftly.
The Old Trafford side have been linked with numerous center halves and one of the long term target is Porto’s Mangala.
The french international has been in brilliant form lately and is linked with a move away from Portugal with premier league clubs looking to lure him.
According to Guardian, Eliaquim Mangala is eager to join Manchester United over their city rivals and premier league champions Manchester City.
Strange choice when the Red Devils will not even be competing in Europe next season. Nevertheless, if that is the case, then United must splash the cash to sign him.
As per the provided link, €43m rated midfielder does not really interest new Man United boss Louis van Gaal and he has other targets in mind.
However, the Dutch coach should consider the signing of one the best center backs in Mangala because not many top stars will prefer Man United because of their Champions League absence.
Chelsea were also reported linked with the Frenchman but they tied captain Terry for another year and have young and talented Kurt Zouma to step up.
United on the other hand desperately need quality defenders after a season full of defensive mistakes and Mangala can provide perfect long term solution.
