United preparing offer for Europa giants key man

English Premier League outfit Manchester United are reported to be keen on the signature of Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas as they are already preparing a bid for him.

According to reports, a bid would be received from the Red Devils in coming days so as to have the star defender for the remaining part of the season.

The Old Trafford side have currently returned to winning ways under the new interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but there is still a big need for more additions in the defence as that department was identified as their weakest link but former manager Jose Mourinho.

However, Kostas Manolas is believed to be available for the Red Devils should they table the right offer for him and United are already preparing a £36 million offer to land him soon.

Kostas Manolas is known for his outstanding and brilliant defending which could be a good asset for the Red Devils especially as they seek to break into the top four within the second half of the season.

United had a very slow start of the season under their former manager but so far, they are yet to record any defeat or draw under their new manager and former player.
