Manchester United are set to switch
their attention to Juventus centre-
back Leonardo Bonucci following news of Mats Hummels' injury.
Although the Borussia Dortmund
defender had been high on United boss David Moyes' list of targets to strengthen his defence, it seems unlikely that negotiations would run while he recovers from an ankle problem, which is expected
to keep him out until January.
With United keen to add a signing at the back following some below-par displays from Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic this season, SportsDirect News now understands that Juventus' Bonucci will be the main candidate for a defensive signing this season.
The likes of Ezequiel Garay and Phil
Jagielka have also been linked with moves to Old Trafford in recent times, and while the Red Devils will explore several options, they are keen to strike a deal for
Italian international Bonucci, whose status as a squad player for Juve could mean he is a realistic target.
Monaco have also been monitoring the 26-year-old ahead of the next transfer window, and their financial power will certainly provide stern competition for
United.
