THREE Players Who Manchester United Could Sign Instead Of Arsenal Captain

Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for a central defender all summer now, but there hasn't been any movement just yet. It appears as though United are chasing a relatively cheap replacement for Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. They have looked at two quite different types of footballers.

Atletico Madrid Star Linked With Old Trafford Move - Why Manchester United Should Try To Sign Him

Manchester United had never really had a problem in defence until they entered the 2013/2014 campaign.
