United are thinking about making a move for a centre-back who was formerly with Chelsea in order to fix their defense

With crucial center backs Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez out with injuries, the Red Devils’ defensive options are currently restricted.

Even though the Frenchman’s future with the club is questionable, Raphael Varane was a starter again in their 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

The Guardian reports that in January, United may think about selling the 30-year-old to Bayern Munich or Saudi Arabia, among others.

If the Frenchman leaves, United would probably look to replace him, and Tomori is supposedly very much on their wishlist, according to MilanWeb, an Italian outlet.

Since his arrival in 2021, Tomori has been an integral part of Milan’s defense, appearing in more than 100 games for the Italian powerhouses across all competitions.

His most recent impressive performance was in the Champions League, when he helped his Serie A side overcome Newcastle 2-1 and finish in third place in Group F.

Those in charge at Old Trafford have taken notice of the England international after his first-half goal-line interception, which he made to prevent Miguel Almiron.

Nevertheless, the Italian club is not likely to part with one of its valued assets during the season, even though they are interested; a summer transfer is more probable.

Instead, the Italian club has been targeting a central defensive reinforcement; rumors have circulated that Jakub Kiwior, currently of Arsenal, could be leaving north London for another club in January.

United are prepared to unload players in the new year, and among those who are available for trade are Varane, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho, and Casemiro.

Paris Saint-Germain is supposedly interested in Casemiro, and Eintracht Frankfurt seems to be closing in on a deal for Van de Beek.
