The report says that Jose Mourinho is considering signing a new centre-back during the summer transfer window with Phil Jones’ and Chris Smalling’s performances dipping in recent weeks, while Victor Lindelof hasn’t played for them since New Year’s Day.
Man United supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the possible addition of the Belgian, and while one labelled him as “too old and too expensive”, another said “Jones is better”.
