Report: Manchester United Want Porto's Eder Militao in January Transfer Window

Manchester United have reportedly added Porto defender Eder Militao to their list of transfer targets for January.

According to Duncan Castles of the Daily Record, the Red Devils are on the hunt for a new centre-back in the midseason window, and the Brazil international has caught the club's eye.

"[Jose] Mourinho's argument is that his defence requires a centre-back blessed both with superior defensive skills than United's current options and the personality and experience to lead and martial his back line," said Castles.

It's added that while there is also interest in the 20-year-old from both Manchester City and Everton, he's said to fit a profile that United are trying to develop in regards to future recruitment.
