Even after signing a highly rated defender in the form of Eric Bailly, the Red Devils are in the market for another central defender.
Jose Mourinho is interested in signing Juventus center half Leonardo Bonucci this summer. The Italian star is one of the best defenders in the world and has been a key member of the Old Lady since joining the club back in 2010.
Current Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of Bonucci and claimed that the 29-year-old star is one of his “favorite ever players” (Daily Mail).
The Azzurri defender featured in 36 league games for the Serie A champions last season and helped the team keep 21 clean sheets.
We believe that Bailly will most likely replace Blind in the starting XI. In that case, if Bonucci joins Manchester United then it will not come as any surprise if he replaces first choice center half Chris Smalling in the lineup.
Here is how Man United will line up with Leonardo Bonucci.
