Manchester United suffered a 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace on Saturday, and their first league clash of the season showed the Red Devils need to invest in a new centre-back.
Harry Maguire partnered Victor Lindelöf, and the Swede was singled out for the goals conceded against the Eagles.
The Red Devils have been linked with a handful of centre-backs in this window, and one of them is AS Monaco’s Benoît Badiashile.
Earlier reports from France explained a United bid for the defender was rejected by the Ligue 1 side. Bayer Leverkusen are also interested, and on September 12th, L’Equipe reported both clubs are ‘willing to put down €25m’ to sign the teenager.
That’s because United have ‘not lost sight’ of the idea of ‘making a new proposal’ for Badiashile before the window closes on October 5th.
Even if United submit a new offer, L’Equipe states it’s unlikely they will succeed as Badiashile wants to stay at Monaco to continue his development.
