Manchester United eye Eder Militao

Manchester United are desperately looking to sign a defender in January and have a new target right now. According to Daily Record, United have set sights on signing FC Porto's Eder Militao.

The 20-year-old is the 'Plan B' for Mourinho and Ed Woodward and they will only be making a move for him if they fail to land Kalidou Koulibaly. The Napoli defender is still their #1 choice as per the report.

Signing the Napoli star looks highly unlikely and he was never on Mourinho's wishlist in the summer. The Red Devils manager wanted to sign Harry Maguire or Toby Alderweireld but both moves were rebuffed by the player's clubs.

Manchester United's problems in the midfield has made them scout for a central defensive midfielder as well. The Red Devils has signed Matic from Chelsea last summer to 'unlock' Paul Pogba but the Serbian has faded away.

He had a brilliant start to his career at United but this season, he has been slow and is making a lot of mistakes. ESPN report that Axel Witsel is United's top target and will be making a move for him next summer.
