Manchester United’s search for a top quality central defender continues and they must secure one in the summer transfer window.
Louis van Gaal’s only central defensive reinforcement for Man United was Marcos Rojo who was more influential for Argentina as a left back.
Other than that, the Dutch manager gave opportunities to youngsters like Blackett and McNair who have done really well but United need someone world class.
According to latest reports, Manchester United are ready to finally sign a quality central defender.
As per Metro, Manchester United have agreed to pay the release clause of 39.5 million pounds for Valencia’s Argentine international center back Nicolas Otamendi.
The 27 year old has been one of the best defenders in La Liga and one of the main reasons why Valencia have been flying high this season.
Valencia are currently third in the Spanish league a point ahead of Atletico Madrid mainly because of their solid defense.
Barcelona have had the best defense in La Liga this season having only conceded 16 goals so far and after the Catalan giants Valencia are in second having conceded 22 goals in 27 games.
Otamendi will be a brilliant addition to Man United’s defense and can form an impressive partnership with his compatriot Rojo.

ManU should forget about signing a defender and concentrate on bringing Memphis Depay and a defensive midfielder. Man U has the 3rd best defensive side in the EPL so what’s the problem with the defence. Sign Memphis Depay as a winger who will be assisting rooney in scoring.
