Manchester United only secured the signing of Italian star Mateo Darmian to reinforce their defense in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils also needed a top quality central defender and even chased (Express) the likes of Madrid’s Sergio Ramos and Valencia’s Nicolas Otamendi.
However, the Spanish defender opted to stay with the club where as the Argentine star joined rivals Manchester City.
Metro and other media outlets cite Mirror claiming that Manchester United are ready to seal the transfer of quality Portuguese center half Paulo Oliveira by bidding 6 million pounds in the winter transfer window.
The 23-year-old Seleccao star is a key member of the Sporting CP squad and was ever present for them last season.
Pualo is solid at the back and also contributed in the attack as well. He featured in 40 games for the Primeira Liga side in the last campaign, scored 3 goals and provided an assist (Transfermarkt).

I see no reason why Man United should secure the services of Oliveira. The reason is that the present Man United manager cannot properly utilise the players he is having. All he can master is to fight players. His team does not have that sting that Man United used to have. Man United must get somebody who is human enough to can bring back those good old days. Man United is always blowing hot and cold – AWAY WITH VAN GAAL AWAY! I put my head on the block, Man United is not going to proceed to the next stage of the Champions League if what I saw on wednesday cannot be improved.
Man United must free Victor Valdes from solitary confinement without any strings attached. It should be his choice to join Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea. To you Valdes, I advise you to take whatever psychological pain van Gaal inflicts on you, take it easy boy. May 2016 is not that far. Fifa must try by all means to protect players who are being abused by foolish guys like van Gaal!
