Manchester United seem set to continue their splurging for players, news has come in that United will be willing to spend up to £150 million in the June transfer window, the Manchester club are looking to sign Arjen Robben, Diego Godin, Mats Hummels and Kevin Strootman to build a championship winning squad.
Godin has been one of Atletico Madrid’s best players for the past 3-4 seasons and was heavily linked with a move away from the club but stayed at the club, Godin has been touted to be in the range of £20 million+ and United look set to sign the Uruguayan defender in June.
While getting the 28 year old might make sense given his rock solid performances for club and country, there are better options which United should aim and here are 3 centre backs which would fit United better than Godin.
Nevan Subotic
A similar price range to Godin but 3 years younger, the Serbian has been one of the best centre backs in the Bundesliga but is often overshadowed by his partner in defence Mats Hummels. Hummels might be a player who might be a little out of reach for United but getting the 25 year old Subotic would be a smart piece of business.
Subotic would bring some much needed steel into the Manchester defence and is known to be a great tactical defender. He is also great in the air and can pass and move the ball around well when in possession; he would certainly be an upgrade on the current United defenders.
