After a dismal start to the season, Erik ten Hag desperately needs to bolster Manchester United’s defense. Their most recent loss at home to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford saw them give up the game’s lone goal in the first half to Joachim Andersen, exposing holes in their defense, especially with Victor Lindelof.

For €40 million, Jean-Clair Todibo will be up for grabs, and Manchester United has been linked to him. Ten Hag is presently battling Man Utd’s ιnjury situation. The squad has been severely impacted by injuries, so he hasn’t been able to stabilize things. The Red Devils’ three left-backs are all out with ιnjury. It looks like Lisandro Martinez will be out for a while, and Raphael Varane is back just now.

Not surprisingly, Manchester United has been connected to multiple defenders before the January transfer window, most notably OGC Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo. Since the summer of 2023, Ten Hag has been interested in Todibo; however, those intentions were derailed when Harry Maguire was unable to join West Ham. Manchester United may have a chance now that Fichajes claims the French international could be available for a fair €40 million.
