Man Utd eye Fikayo Tomori as defensive fix
25 Oct
Summary
- Manchester United's defense has been poor, conceding 19 goals in 10 games.
- AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori is a target for Manchester United.
- Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are nearing the end of their contracts.
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori in the upcoming January transfer window. The Red Devils have struggled defensively this season, conceding 19 goals in 10 games across all competitions, with only one clean sheet.
Tomori, along with teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek, was scouted by Premier League clubs recently. Both players are said to be in the final year of their contracts with AC Milan and are reportedly eager to return to England.
AC Milan may be willing to cash in on the duo in January rather than lose them for free later. Tomori previously played for Chelsea and had loan spells at Brighton, Hull, and Derby before joining AC Milan permanently in 2021.
Despite Tomori's Premier League experience, Manchester United must assess if he represents a significant upgrade on their current defensive options. The club's new ownership may also prefer a more established transfer target.
