Jose Mourinho’s top defensive transfer target, the Napoli central defender could be an ideal match to Lindelof. Koulibaly is lightning fast and is excellent in the air due to his height. With defence being the first line of attack, his speed could come in handy for United.

Manchester United have been quoted a price of more than £90m for the Senegal international according to a report. This would be a record signing for a defender (set by Liverpool when they signed Virgil Van Dijk) if United make this through.

In the 40 appearances he has made this year across competitions, he has averaged 1.9 tackles, 3.8 clearances, and 1 block every game.

On being asked about the move to Manchester United, he looked 'happy', as he diplomatically said, "My future? I don’t know if I’m one of the strongest defenders. I always try to give my best. Since I’m here, I always try to grow with Napoli. I have a lot of motivation to go on and I want to keep doing this."

"I am pleased that many teams follow me, but I want to demonstrate on the field that I am at the level of the greatest and I want to show it in the future."
