Manchester United have faced considerable challenges with their center-backs this season under Erik ten Hag, grappling with substantial injury setbacks in their defensive line.
Every one of their five central defenders has grappled with injuries at some point this campaign. The extent of the issue is highlighted by Jonny Evans, who, despite being the fifth-choice defender, has logged significant playing time.
The team has been conceding goals at an alarming rate, culminating in them being the first English club to concede 15 goals during the Champions League group stage. This unfortunate performance led them to finish at the bottom of Group A, exiting the tournament prematurely.
To address their defensive woes, Manchester United is reportedly keen on an unexpected move for AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori, aiming for a potential £35 million transfer to Old Trafford. Reports from Milan Web suggest that United is actively pursuing Tomori, potentially cutting short his tenure at AC Milan earlier than expected, a move that Sport Witness has translated.
The anticipated transfer fee for Tomori is estimated to be around £35 million, with United eyeing a summer deal rather than attempting a move in January. AC Milan’s financial constraints may prompt them to seek funds post this season, making Tomori a likely asset to cash in on during the summer transfer window.
