Manchester United could now find it easier to sign ‘strong’ £40m target after what happened last night
Manchester United could now find it easier to sign Jean-Clair Todibo after what happened last night.
That is according to the Daily Mail.
So, what is the latest on Manchester United target Jean-Clair Todibo? Let’s take a look…
Manchester United could now find it easier to sign Jean-Clair Todibo
Well, the France international clashed with his own supporters on Friday night as OGC Nice suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Montpellier in Ligue 1.
Todibo got OGC Nice off to a woeful start by scoring an own goal in the 10th minute, before proceeding to become embroiled in a feisty exchange with fans after the full-time whistle.
The believe this incident could now make it easier for Manchester United to sign the Frenchman this summer – especially as Sir Jim Ratcliffe owns OGC Nice.
According to the , a sum of £40m could be enough to tempt the French side into selling the central defender – who teammate Dante called a “very strong player” – this summer.
Todibo – who is contracted to OGC Nice until July 2027 – has made appearances in all competitions so far this season, providing two assists.
New central defender is desperately needed at Old Trafford
The centre-back situation at Manchester United is very worrying, and even one new addition in that department may not be enough this summer.
For example, Erik ten Hag had no choice but to field Jonny Evans against Manchester City last week in the absence of Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire, with 19-year-old Willy Kambwala also being required at the Etihad Stadium.
Therefore, it would make plenty of sense to bid for Todibo this summer, especially given Ratcliffe’s connections to OGC Nice and the 24-year-old’s fallout with supporters.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as the Cayenne-born defender does seem quite likely to leave OGC Nice this summer.
