Man Utd seeking to buy new 'world class' centre-half; Rudiger on radar

Manchester United plan to buy a new centre-half this summer market.

The Daily Mail says Harry Maguire's future at United will come under even greater scrutiny in the summer with the club planning to sign a world-class centre-back.

Antonio Rudiger could be an option if the Germany international doesn't agree a new contract at Chelsea, while Barcelona's young Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo is among the other names being linked with a move to Old Trafford.

United's plans to strengthen in central defence - Eric Bailly and Phil Jones also face uncertain futures at the club - are bound to cast further doubt over Maguire's situation.

It is complicated by the fact that he is United's captain and the most expensive centre-back in world football following a £80million move from Leicester in 2019.
