Manchester United FC finally seems to have made moves in the transfer market as the club hasn’t signed a player yet. The Red Devil fans have been infuriated from the board’s lack of urgency and have put out large social media protests. But it was reported last night that United had placed a bid for Benoit Badiashile, which was later rejected by AS Monaco.
Manchester United have been looking for a left-footed centre-back this summer, with Badiashile as a primary target. The young centre-back has starred in the Ligue-1 with AS Monaco and is also the captain of the France u-19 national team. It has been reported that United had lately placed a bid of €25m, bur Monaco have rejected the bid with their manager, Niko Kovac, hell-bent to keep him.
The Red Devils have been scouting Badiashile for some time now and will be eager to sign the defender. But with their bid rejected, according to Mohammed Bouhafsi, “A source close to Monaco now indicates that Badiashile will stay unless Manchester make a Martial-like, unrefusable bid for him.”

The signing of Badiashile will be crucial for United as the manager prefers a left-footed centre back with Harry Maguire. Badiashile has all the qualities to become a quality centre-back at United and the club needs to act quickly to sign him.
