Manchester United legend Andy Cole doubts £85m defender move

Manchester United legend Andy Cole cannot see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer entering the race for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, as they have already spent big on Harry Maguire and prioritised other areas. Transfer records were broken at United in the summer of 2019 when they signed an £80m ($104m) deal for Harry Maguire. The 26-year-old has been a success in the new club, with becoming the captain following the departure of Ashley Young to Inter. It has been reported that United may be tempted to make a move for Koulibaly if an exit door is opened in Serie A. However, Cole believes that, with the Red Devils still pursuing a deal for Sporting midfielder Bruno Fernandes, there are other areas in greater need of addressing. Speaking with The United Stand,  he said: “I would be surprised if Manchester United spend that on another centre-half - £85million. “Everyone knows we need creativity. Another centre-forward and creativity in the wide areas. “I would be surprised £85m or £90m on another centre-half when you’ve spent £80m on one centre half but nothing says he’s going to be better than what you’ve already got. “All I want for Manchester United is to finish in the top four. “Then we can really go for it and bring in some real, real quality players.” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side return to action on Saturday, as they are set to face the hardest test in their upcoming clash against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
