World News – USA – Man Utd target a Liverpool duo as part of a five-man defender’s wish list

Manchester United is reported to have created a five-man wish list for the central defensive transfer ahead of the January transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still looking for another addition to his defense as he failed to land anyone in the summer.

And Solskjaer will hope that each new signing can help boost his team’s ambitions for the title. A win against Wolves on Tuesday night puts United two points ahead of leaders Liverpool.

According to the Daily Express, United’s hierarchy is keen to provide Solskjaer with a new employee over 90 minutes to keep that push going.

The United boss is expected to deliver around 40 million in funding next month. GBP and any revenue United earns from sales.

And he’ll hope that’s enough to put one of the men on his shopping list. According to the report, Villarreal defender Pau Torres is high on his wish list.

The Spaniard was targeted over the summer, although no concrete steps were taken. Since then, however, he has grown stronger under Unai Emery.

Torres has a 50 million euro release clause that Solskjaer is eligible for. In fact, our exclusive earlier this year showed that United could use Eric Bailly for a partial exchange.

United have another La Liga defender in their sights with Jules Kounde from Seville. He was interested in Manchester City over the summer until they settled on Ruben Dias instead.

United is also on the lookout for Leicester’s Caglar Soyuncu. The Leicester star has impressed since Harry Maguire’s departure to Old Trafford and has been rewarded with a spot on the PFA team for the 2020 season.

According to the report, Soyuncu’s Turkish team-mate Ozan Kabak is also on her wish list. The 20-year-old Kabak has impressed Schalke and is closely associated with Jürgen Klopp’s team.

He is also associated with AC Milan. A report earlier this month found a $ 22 million move. GBP to San Siro is about to close next month.

FIFA agent Gaetano Di Caro told Milannews. it: “After everything I’ve heard and personally spoken to the managing director of Schalke about a certain transfer interest, he’s been in talks with Milan for some time.

« Here in Germany you are sure that Milan is already very close to Kabak. The Rossoneri have been after him for a while and were about to relegate Stuttgart. But he followed his director to Schalke.

“I also heard that Kabak had praised Milanese directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara. They were the only club that made him feel like they wanted him at all costs.

« Schalke are bottom of the table, they have a lot of debts and because of their financial situation they cannot long reject Milan. « . ”

United and Liverpool are interested in Ben White from Brighton. The defender worked his name out during a loan season at Leeds last season. With his promotion to the Premier League, he has developed even further. The stylish defender, now closer to the £ 50m mark, would likely prove to be the most expensive of the quintet United is keen on.

Brighton hates selling in the middle of the season, however. So it seems that United will have to give up those thoughts, at least for now.
