#3 Manchester United set their sights on £60m Benfica defender
The Mirror reports that United have set their sights on Benfica defender Ruben Dias, after being deterred by the asking price of Kalidou Koulibaly. The Senegalese was Solskjaer's number 1 target to fix a rather broken United backline, however, Napoli's evaluation of Koulibaly is said to be far higher than what United are willing to pay. The Serie A side have reportedly put a £150m asking price on their prized asset and have already rejected a £85m enquiry from United, as well as a £90m bid from Real Madrid.
This has prompted United to look for other options and reports now emerge that Solskjaer has set his eyes on Benfica's young Portuguese defender, who is one of the most talented young defenders in Europe right now. Dias also has the added advantage of being just 22 years old, which suits United just fine.
Benfica have already rejected a £30m bid from Lyon last summer, but can be coaxed with a bid of around £60m.
