Man United 'close' to signing Jean-Clair Todibo despite Maguire stance (reliability: 3 stars)

As per French outlet L’Equipe, Man United are closing in on the signing of OGC Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo.

The Frenchman’s move to Old Trafford is now claimed to be ‘in sight’ as they want to continue strengthening Erik ten Hag’s squad.

The Red Devils are eyeing him as a replacement for Harry Maguire, who rejected a move to West Ham United and looks set to stay this season.

With that being said, the Red Devils have no confirmed agreement with Nice for the young centre-back as they keep working in the summer transfer market.
