Manchester United identify Giorgio Scalvini as potential target to strengthen defensive unit

Manchester United are looking to add more quality to the defensive unit, and they have identified Giorgio Scalvini as a potential target.

The 22-year-old is highly rated in Italy, and it remains to be seen whether Atalanta is prepared to sanction his departure. According to reports, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Antonee Robinson as well.

Manchester United need more depth in the defensive unit, and the 22-year-old would be a long-term acquisition. He has the quality to play for a big club, and he could be an asset for Manchester United.

Manchester United need a long-term replacement for Harry Maguire, and the young Italian could be the ideal alternative. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. They have the finances to convince the Italian club, and convincing the young defender to join the club is unlikely to be difficult.

They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be exciting for Scalvini as well. However, Atalanta will not want to lose a talented young player like him easily. He has a contract with the Italian club until 2028, and they are under no rush to sell the player. Manchester United might have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done.

The Red Devils have secured Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they will look to do well in the Premier League as well. They need a deeper squad with more quality.

Signing the young defender would be a step in the right direction. Ideally, they should look to add more quality in the attacking unit as well.
