Man Utd could spark tricky dilemma after ‘concrete’ offer for Borussia Dortmund star | Football | Sport

But United’s top dogs might not be best pleased with a new manager coming into the hot seat and immediately replacing their £80m man.

There could be an argument that the price tag should fly out the window, though, with the chief executive – Ed Woodward – and manager – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – who sanctioned his arrival both departed.

Given frustrations about game time as it is, Bailly, Jones and Tuanzebe could be set for exits anyway, which is possibly the reason why United are moving so quickly for a new centre-half.

Whether it’s Erik ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino or someone else, they would undoubtedly welcome starting next season with Varane, Akanji, Maguire and Lindelof as their first team central defenders.
