Manchester United Have To Consider This Top Defender Signing- Not Lindelof

It is no longer news that English Premier League giant Manchester United are interested in signing Victor Lindelof in the ongoing winter transfer window from Benfica.

Some new reports coming from Portugal have indicated that the 22-year-old Swedish international will definitely complete his move to Old Trafford this month.

Nevertheless, some people think Mourinho do not need a player like Lindelof in his team now but needs a new right back. And that should bring Lindelof’s teammate Semedo in the limelight.

In the central defense, the duo of Rojo and Jones have formed a strong partnership in the back, with Eric Bailly back from injury- even though he is presently representing his country in Africa. Having not even mentioned Blind who can play in the center half too, bringing another center half now is not needed.

In the United team, Valencia is the first choice at the right back position. Nevertheless, the veteran player is not getting younger and a quality player is needed to provide cover as well. We should have mentioned Darmian, but Darmian has only been able to perform well as a left back this season, and he hasn’t even been consistent.

What Mourinho should do therefore is to spend money bringing Semedo into Old Trafford this month. It was revealed that he has a release clause of €45m in his contract.

The 23-year old has been in top form for the Benfica this season. In 25 appearances, he scored 2 times and has provided 4 assists in his side.
