Manchester United chasing ex-Chelsea defender as Varane replacement

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for former Chelsea center-back Fikayo Tomori. 

The 25-year-old currently plays for AC Milan, having joined the club in 2021 and played a significant role in their Serie A triumph that season. 

Tomori has amassed 127 appearances for Milan, contributing five goals and numerous standout defensive performances.

According to Sportskeeda, United boss Ten Hag is keen on adding a top-level defender to the club as early as January.

One factor is Raphael Varane who is now facing limited playing time under Erik ten Hag, making only 10 Premier League appearances. 

The potential transfer could cost around €40 million, and while a January move is less likely, a summer transfer seems plausible.
