Louis van Gaal continues to look for quality defenders way before the January window so that he gets his targets as soon as the market starts.
Many defenders were linked with a move to Old Trafford in the last summer and now a handful of quality stars are again linked for a winter move.
The major problem for the Manchester United is not many top players look to change clubs mid-season.
However, United will have to sign at least two top defensive players to ensure that they qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The Red Devils cannot afford to miss out CL qualification yet again, especially when they have spent huge sums to bring in stars.
According to Daily Star, Manchester United are closing in to secure Torino full back Matteo Darmian in the January transfer window.
The Italian international was selected in the World Cup squad because of his performances last season and was the one to provide wonder ball for Balotelli’s winner against England.
As per the provided link, the 24 year old Serie A star is rated around $24 million and United can secure his signing with the mentioned fee.
Van Gaal did sign Shaw, Rojo for Left full back position, even Blind can play there. However, the right fullback dilemma remains while the Dutch manager is not fully convinced with Brazilian star Rafael.
Italian defenders are always renowned and Darmian can prove to be a great signing for the Devils.
