Manchester United are expecting a busy summer with INEOS taking charge of their first transfer window in charge of the sporting structure at the club.<\/p>\n
Defensive reinforcements are top of the list of priorities for the new owners, having seen Erik ten Hag struggle for consistency in his backline throughout the campaign. <\/p>\n
Issues at the back have played a major part in United\u2019s struggles this season and summer signings will be being discussed internally. <\/p>\n
The Peoples Person previously relaye<\/a>d that INEOS have identified their primary target as Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo.<\/p>\n It looked as though United were going to have a clear run at the 24-year-old<\/a>, with Barcelona and Tottenham distancing themselves from the deal. <\/p>\n However, it now appears United will face competition for the defender with Atletico Madrid earmarking him as a priority this summer.<\/p>\n As reported by football journalist Santi Aouna, Atleti are preparing to \u201cbreak the bank\u201d for Todibo, who has emerged as one of the most sought-after centre-halves in Europe. <\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8EXCL: \ud83d\udd34\u26ab\ufe0f\ud83e\udd85\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 #Ligue1<\/a> |<\/p>\n \ud83c\udd95\ufe0f L\u2019Atl\u00e9tico Madrid a fait de Jean-Clair Todibo son choix num\u00e9ro 1 pour renforcer sa d\u00e9fense la saison prochaine<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcb0 Peu satisfait de sa ligne d\u00e9fensive, les Colchoneros refl\u00e9chiraient \u00e0 casser leur tirelire pour attirer le roc ni\u00e7ois <\/p>\n W @sebnonda<\/a>\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/eDptirtcnk<\/a><\/p>\n — Santi Aouna (@Santi_J_FM) April 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
