While Manchester United’s interest in Axel Disasi is well-known, there’s another name on Erik ten Hag’s list of potential centre-backs to sign this summer.
That man, according to L’Equipe, is Jean-Clair Todibo who finally settled down nicely at OGC Nice after a rather hectic few years at the start of his career.
The centre-back went from Toulouse to Barcelona with a spell at Benfica before heading to the south of France, where Manchester United clearly were impressed with what they saw.
The French newspaper explain that both Disasi and Todibo are ‘on the lists’ of Ten Hag at Old Trafford, although they might have to wait to make a move.
That’s because Manchester United currently have a number of centre-backs in their squad, with Eric Bailly returning from Marseille, for example, and the Premier League side will ‘probably wait the exit of one of their defenders before going any further’.
As for Nice in all this, they are said to have a ‘very firm position’ in all this, and ‘do not wish to open the door to an exit’.
