Manchester United send scouts to watch Giorgio Scalvini during Atalanta’s 1-1 draw vs. Roma

January 9, 2024

Manchester United reportedly sent scouts to track Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini.

It’s believed that the defensive department is an area of the pitch Erik ten Hag is keen to strengthen either in January or in the summer transfer window.

This season, the United boss has had to contend with multiple injuries to key members of his backline. As a result, the Red Devils have not been able to achieve consistency in terms of both performances and results.

Often, Ten Hag has been forced to deploy constantly changed and modified centre-back pairings at the heart of United’s defence

The likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have all been ruled out at various points of the campaign.

United have been linked to a number of top centre-backs in Europe.

Some of these are Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio, Benfica’s Antonio Silva, OGC Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo, Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi and of course, Scalvini.
