Man Utd eye Europe's brightest as they seek new right-back signing

Manchester United have plans to buy a new right-back in the summer.

The Daily Mail says United are keen on Nice’s £5million-rated teenage right back Diacko Fofana, who broke into the Nice first team this year.

United have also considered Crystal Palace’s Nathaniel Clyne and PSV’s Jetro Willems as they look to improve competition in defence.

They have sent scouts to watch Fofana, 17, who is under contract until June 2015.

I hope this is a sign then that ferdinand is going but to be honest i think we need a leftback to challenge evra whos been dodgey to say the least over the past 18months. evra has no competition to push him & make him worry about his place bar fabio who fergie now has started playing leftback. i think were fine for rightbacks having rafael & fabio aswell as smalling, evans & jones who can do a job at rightback if needed so a righback for me would be a waste of time & money. We need a top left back & ive never seen him play but ive read all reports saying Jetro Willems is a left back???

rafael....jones...vidic....evra
fabio....smalling.evans..new signing
..............fryers

this should be our backline next season, providing we get fryers to stay

if only the kids thought like val.. RED DEVILS FOR LIFE!!!
