Manchester United are credited with an interest in AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori who has been a standout performer in Italy since his move from Chelsea a year and a half ago.
The England international defender was a crucial cog on the AC Milan team sheet during their Serie A-winning campaign last term and Tomori’s displays have earned him a suitor this summer in the Premier League giants Manchester United.
According to a claim from the Italian news outlet Calciomercato, United’s hunt for defensive reinforcements could take them to San Siro with the new manager Erik ten Hag looking to strengthen his backline before the start of the new season.
Ajax mainstay Lisandro Martinez is backed to be a top target for Ten Hag but the United head coach wants to keep his options open and has identified the former Chelsea starlet Tomori as a viable alternative should the talks for signing Martinez hit a stumbling block.
North London heavyweights Arsenal have given United a tough battle in their pursuit of the Argentine central defender Martinez but it remains to be seen whether United’s latest and improved bid for the Ajax man finally gets them their man in need.
