Man Utd eye Serie A defender with two Premier League rivals also lurking image

Manchester United are trying to secure multiple deals to boost their squad this summer. Matheus Cunha has already signed for the club, and Bryan Mbeumo is still keen on joining United. 

Ruben Amorim is desperate to sign a striker, but there are other areas of concern for his team, as well. United need to improve almost every aspect of their squad. 

A midfielder and goalkeeper are also said to be priorities for Amorim, but one defender with a good price tag could be a surprise signing for the Red Devils. 

Who is United's new defensive target?

Manchester United have added Roma's Evan Ndicka to their list of potential transfer targets, according to The Daily Express. Roma want around £30m for the defender, and the club sees it as a great deal for bidders. 

The Serie A side is at risk of violating the Financial Fair Play rules, with Roma needing to make a profit of at least £10m. Ndicka has been a top performer, and his asking price might give United hope they could make a splash on a new defender.

Ndicka could be a good investment for United, with the defender being regarded as one of the most consistent center-backs in Serie A. United have struggled with injuries and inconsistent performances from their backline. 

Arsenal and Newcastle have also been linked with the defender. However, Arsenal look set to sign Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia, which could mean Mikel Arteta will not genuinely challenge for Ndicka.
