Manchester United have made a decent start to their campaign in the Premier League this season and have looked good so far. Their loss to Chelsea at the weekend was just their second this season and Mourinho will hope that his side can bounce back from the loss after the international break.
The Manchester club are tipped to make a serious bid for the coveted title this season and they seem to have fixed it as their primary target this season. However, they might need some new players in their lineup to make it stronger, especially in the backline, which has been a reason for concern for them in the recent past.
Jose Mourinho has been worried about the defence of his side and the absence of key players like Eric Bailly and Phil Jones has made him search for newer options to be added to his side in the near future. Despite having a centre back like Victor Lindelof in his side since the start of the season, the Portuguese mastermind is tipped to bring in a few new faces.
One such player, who is right on the top of the target list for the wily manager, is the Turkish youngster Caglar Soyuncu. The 21-year-old is one of the best defenders in his country and is currently plying his trade for the Bundesliga club Freiburg.
The young Turk has made a name for himself as one of the most dependable faces in Turkish football and has attracted the eyes of a number of big-name clubs from all over Europe. Apart from being the subject of grave interest from the Red Devils, current Premier League leaders Manchester City might also table a bid for Caglar Soyuncu in the near future.
With an immense physical presence in the backline for the German club, the young defender has made a name for himself in the European circuit. His mercurial ability to keep the opposition at bay with hard-hitting tackles, accompanied with the ability to head the ball home from set-piece situations have helped him earn rave reviews from a number of experts.
His inclusion in the Manchester United lineup might come at the right time, as the Red Devils are desperately seeking players who can help them keep their goal safe with their towering presence at the heart of the defence. However, they might have to shell out as much as £20 million to make Freiburg part ways with their prized possession.
They will have to fend off interests other clubs but is Soyuncu is the right man for United?
