<\/p>\n

Manchester United are likely to make a bid for Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo.<\/p>\n

If there was anybody left who didn’t believe United need a defensive reset, last night’s pathetic 4-0 hammering <\/a>at Crystal Palace must surely have been the last straw.<\/p>\n

55 goals have been shipped by Erik ten Hag’s side this season and an greater number of injuries have plagued the club. So much so that a clearly unfit Jonny Evans was rushed back in to face the Eagles and he took his place beside an out-of-position and desperately out-of-form Casemiro.<\/p>\n

The midfield trio of Christian Eriksen, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount provided little defensive cover for their exposed backline.<\/p>\n

Therefore, signing a defender has become imperative for the Red Devils this summer and the likes of Jarrad Branthwaite<\/a>, Goncalo Inacio<\/a> and Ronald Araujo<\/a> have all been recently linked to a move to Manchester.<\/p>\n

However, one name that has never been too far away from United’s in the press is that of French defender Todibo, with the 24 year old being linked with a move to Old Trafford since last summer <\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has been reported by some that despite the noise around Branthwaite, Todibo is actually the first choice<\/a> and the Reds will face competitions from the continent in the form of Atletico Madrid<\/a> and AC Milan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GIVEMESPORT <\/a>have also added fuel to this particular fire by claiming it is “likely” that United will make a \u00a340 million bid for the former Barcelona defender this summer window.<\/p>\n

With Branthwaite’s price regularly being quoted at \u00a370 million <\/a>in a summer of PSR financial restrictions and no Champions League money next season, “Manchester United are increasingly likely to head to Nice with a formal offer for Jean-Clair Todibo after the France international has been identified as a more affordable alternative to Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of the summer transfer window.”<\/p>\n

Sources have told the website that, “Manchester United have earmarked Todibo as a key transfer target following internal discussions at Old Trafford, according to GMS sources, and they are increasingly likely to test Nice’s resolve by lodging a formal bid when the summer window opens for business in the coming weeks.”<\/p>\n

Whilst Branthwaite is the club’s preferred choice, there is a feeling that Everton will likely play hardball and make any potential deal much more unaffordable, even with the club’s huge financial issues.<\/p>\n

Consequently, “Todibo has been pinpointed as a centre-back who they are already aware could be drafted in with more ease, thanks to him potentially being available for a cut-price fee of \u00a340million, while the fact that members of the hierarchy have trust in him due to being owners of Nice is key.”<\/p>\n

“GMS sources have been told that Manchester United’s new-look hierarchy have set their sights on acquiring two central defenders during the summer”, therefore signing two cheaper options would make more sense than splurging a sizeable proportion of the budget on Branthwaite.<\/p>\n

Todibo has been described<\/a> as “a monster defender” in possession – “as comfortable as any defender in the world, standing out with his ability to ball-carry and pass.” Should INEOS decide to pursue the Frenchman it could be a quicker, simpler and more affordable deal than a convoluted pursuit of Branthwaite.<\/p>\n
