Manchester United are considering making huge move for defender

Manchester United’s January transfer window ended up being one huge disappointment, with Louis van Gaal not spending a penny – largely due to no fault of his own. However this summer could be huge for the Old Trafford club, particularly given the huge TV deal that comes into play.

The Manchester Evening News say that the first move Manchester United will make is to try and bring in Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Club Bilbao. The 21-year old has been on United’s wish list for the last two years, and extensive scouting has certainly taken place.

Laporte is without doubt one of the most talented centre-backs in the game at the moment, and there have been a whole host of clubs chasing his signature but until this point Bilbao have stood firm.

United know just how hard it is dealing with the Basque side, just look at how long and drawn out the Ander Herrera negotiations were, so expect more of the same if a move for Laporte comes to fruition.
