AS Monaco centre-back Axel Disasi has already outlined what qualities he would bring to Manchester United amid ongoing reports connecting him with a summer move to Old Trafford.
United, who will get their pre-season preparations under way in just over three weeks time, have plans to strengthen their defensive options this summer with the addition of a new centre-back.
First, though, they need to cut their cloth in that area of the team by offloading one of their current options, most likely Harry Maguire.
Maguire is being linked with several Premier League clubs, including both Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. If he does leave, United will need to bring in a replacement, but without the guarantee of being able to offer regular football.
