Man Utd January Transfers: 3 players Manchester United can target in this window

3. Ruben Dias

Manchester United is short of players at defence, in every game, Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire have played throughout all competitions, the unreliability of Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo is a huge problem for the club.

Moreover with the exit of Chris Smalling from the club on loan makes them even more vulnerable. Hence, Ruben Dias should be the target of Manchester United considering the situation.

The 23-year-old player is a promising talent at Benfica but a lot of big clubs including local rivals Manchester City. Benfica can be stubborn to sell the player on a reasonable price considering the competition.

But he seems to be a viable option to bolster the defence at Manchester United, or else Manchester United can look at other options in the market like Dayot Upamecano, but his exit amidst this season is unlikely as RB Leipzig is the favourite to win Bundesliga under the current situation.
