According to the Italian press, Manchester United is interested in acquiring Turin Juventus defender Medhi Benatia, who receives little playing time.
The Moroccan national team defender has not received much playing time this season - so far he has only appeared in five matches and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Jose Mourinho and Man United plan to take advantage of this situation.
The club aims to strengthen their defense, as they have already conceded 27 goals this season.
Manchester United tried to sign Toby Alderweireld and Harry Maguire in the summer, but both players' wishes were rejected by the team's management.
M. Benatia's contract still has 18 months left, which could lower the price for the defender. It is believed that the club's management will view the Moroccan more favorably than the acquisition of defenders from Tottenham or Leicester.
