Roma centre-back Kostas Manolas is the latest defender being linked with a high profile move to Manchester United as manager Jose Mourinho seeks new faces to help fix one of the leakiest defensive units in the Premier League this season.
United are expected to have a scout watch Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic in action over the weekend, while Joachim Andersen of Sampdoria has also emerged as a potential target.
But new gossip originating from Italy has it that United could (a red flag will become apparent as you keep reading) also turn their attention to Greek international Manolas as a result of the relatively low release clause said to be in his current contract at Stadio Olimpico.
