Well-known journalist Romano recently reported that
Manchester United Football Club
The club are still considering bringing in another central defender to bolster the team's defense after signing 18-year-old center back Jolo. It is reported that Dutch center back Derek De Rijter and Everton center back
Branswit
All are on United's list of reinforcements.
Romano pointed out that United is open to signing another center back, but before moving forward with the transfer deal, United needs to solve the problem of the existing players in the lineup, by selling or loaning some players to free up payroll space and lineup spots.
Drieght has been on United's radar as a star center back for the Dutch national team and Juventus. However, United will only push for his transfer if the conditions are right. On the other hand, Everton center-back Brunswick is also a key target for United, but the Red Devils do not intend to pay a hefty transfer fee of up to £70 million to £75 million for him.
United's center back position has always been a part of the team that needs to be strengthened, especially after last season's injuries and ups and downs in form. While the arrival of Yolo has brought fresh blood to the team, United are clearly looking to further strengthen their defense. With the different styles and characteristics of Derek De Ligt and Branswit, United will decide on the final reinforcement strategy based on the team's tactical needs and financial situation.
For Manchester United, how to balance the team's tactical needs and financial budget while finding the right players in a competitive transfer market will be an important challenge they need to face in the next transfer window.
