Manchester United: 5 defenders Jose Mourinho needs to target this summer

#1 Toby Alderweireld

The Belgian has been in sublime form in recent seasons

Toby Alderweireld is probably the most wanted man on the list. The Belgian defender is widely considered to be the among the best defenders not only in England but continent-wide. During his spell at the London club, he has proved himself to be worthy of the tag.

The player takes as much as five defensive actions per game in the league and has a passing accuracy of 86% in 2017/18.

The 29-year-old is reported to be unhappy with his wages at the London club. He would enter the last 12 months of his contract at the end of the current season. With Spurs reluctant to hand him the desired wages, it could force them into selling the player.

In him, United would get a player with a lot of Premier League experience. He could ease the workload off Eric Bailly's shoulders while forming a formidable center-back partnership with the Ivorian.

A large number of rival clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in the player. Red Devils would need to make an efficient and early move for the player in the summer.
