3 cheaper alternatives to Harry Maguire who Manchester United should consider

#2 Ruben Dias

United should act fast and snatch the young defender

The Benfica starlet is one of the most promising defenders available in the market at the moment. Dias has quickly established himself as a regular for Benfica senior team since coming from the club's academy. He amassed more than 55 appearances as a starter in his last 2 seasons, scoring a total of 6 goals.

He became an integral part for Benfica's recent Primera Liga triumph, and his excellent displays have led to attention from numerous top clubs such as Juventus. Dias also impressed in other competitions, as he featured prominently in Benfica's Europa and Champions League spells.

His reputation has soared even more since he played a key role in Portugal's UEFA Nations League triumph. It is understandable that the 22-year-old will cost United a large chunk of money, but the Red Devils can rest assured that they will not pay more than what Maguire could cost.

Dias's buyout clause stands at €60 million, and United might want to act as soon as possible before Benfica extends the starlet's contract.
