Why signing Ferland Mendy can give United rest

Man United are obviously not at ease as they are battling to ensure they qualify for the Champions League next season with a top four finish.

After a slow start of the season, the Red Devils have returned back to winning ways and are currently fourth in the Premier League table but they face a major fight from Arsenal and Chelsea for the spot.

The Red Devils interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has therefore been told to secure the signature of Ferland Mendy from French Ligue 1 outfit Lyon to have a major rest.

It is not news that the Red Devils are out searching for a quality defender who can help solve their defensive crisis in the summer but they have been told that investing in Ferland Mendy will hand them a long-term solution.

Transfermarkt values Ferland Mendy at £10.8 million which makes it a good bargain for the Man United team as they will not have to spend much before securing the quality they seek for.
