Manchester United have failed to impress on every single front this season, with Erik ten Hag’s job far from secure.
However, it’s not just the boss whose Red Devils future may not go beyond the summer, with plenty of outgoings on the cards.
One of those players could be Raphael Varane, whose current contract expires in June 2024.
It seems unlikely that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has the French defender in his plans for the rebuild, especially considering he’s United’s second-highest-paid player, earning £340k-per-week, according to Capology.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at a potential replacement for Varane, who could have a huge impact on Diogo Dalot.
Man Utd’s centre back search
According to a recent report from FootballTransfers, Man United have added Ezri Konsa to their list of defensive targets.
Last summer, United registered their interest in the Aston Villa defender, but his performances earned him a huge new contract.
Having signed that, Konsa’s fee will inevitably be higher this time around, with CIES Football Observatory estimating his value to be around £35m.
However, signing Konsa may not be as simple as it seems, and if Villa qualify for the Champions League, it’s unlikely he leaves.
