Manchester United are considering Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice to replace Harry Maguire at Old Trafford, according to RMCsport.
Todibo is one of the central defenders that Erik ten Hag is considering at the moment. The 23-year-old is likely to depart from Ligue 1 and make a move to Premier League.
Maguire, who has been stripped of captaincy earlier this summer, attracts interest from West Ham and Everton. David Moyes' side are the frontrunners in the race to land the Englishman, but their £30 million offer for Maguire was rejected by United a few days ago.
Nice's young center-back faced a challenging beginning to his professional football career, experiencing unsuccessful loan spells at Barcelona, Schalke, and Benfica. However, he managed to discover his footing while playing in France.
Todibo's performance during the previous season was so impressive that he was selected to represent France for the first time in March.
