British media reported that Manchester United captain Maguire suggested that manager Solskjaer could sign Brighton defender Ben White as his centre-back partner.
Maguire is said to be a 23-year-old fan of the new England Iron Guard, who is over 1.9 meters tall, and his performances in the past two years have been impressive.
According to The Transfer Window podcast, Maguire told Sauers that he wanted to play with an English-speaking centre-back who should understand Premier League football culture and be able to complement his shortcomings.
And one of the players mentioned in this discussion is White. The defender attracted attention with his performances on loan to Leeds United, making 46 Appearances in the Championship last season and helping Bielsa's side to a successful promotion. Leeds United have since tried to buy him out, but Brighton decided to take back White.
Last year, Brighton also renewed White's contract for four years and set him up for a transfer price of £50 million. Manchester United's rumors of him were reported as early as last December, but Brighton's price tag is prohibitive. However, if the Seagulls are relegated from the Premier League this season, they may be forced to lower the asking price. Currently, the team is 17th in the Premier League and is just one step away from the relegation zone.
White has played 26 Premier League games for Brighton this season, and he can also play in different positions such as back and right wing-back. However, he is a right-footed player and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants United to bring in a left-footed centre-back to partner Harry Maguire.
At present, the British media says that Manchester United's preferred centre-back is Villarreal's 23-year-old Spain international Paw Torres, whose destruction fee is 56 million pounds, and the Red Devils hope to sign him at a lower price.
In addition, Roma's Gianluca Mancini is the latest to be shortlisted for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's new centre-back. The 24-year-old Mancini is said to be available for just £27 million. Britain's "Daily Express" said Chelsea was also interested in him.
Giamluca Mancini, who has nothing to do with Robert Mancini, is an Italian international brought in from Atalanta for £11 million, missing only three rounds of Serie A this season, helping the team achieve seven clean sheets, scoring four goals and assisting twice, and currently ranks Roma fifth in the league. Mancini scored 5 goals in all competitions and had the attribute of a knife-wielding bodyguard.
I don't know who Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will choose to sign this summer, becoming the last piece of the puzzle for Manchester United centre-backs. In an interview this week, the boss laid out what he thought was the ideal Manchester United futsal squad, choosing his own striker, Giggs and David Beckham delivering the cannonballs for him, while stam and van der Sar on the defensive line.
"Several of the teammates I've partnered with want to be on the team." Solskjaer explains, "I want roy Keane to play, but I'm not sure I can manage him! But if it were possible, I would like to sign him every day, Roy's influence is too big, but I have also partnered Cristiano (Ronaldo), who is the best player in the world in the past 10 to 15 years alongside Messi, so of course you want him to be in the team."
"But I have to choose myself, I can score, so I don't have to have too many strikers. I wish I had Bey, Scholes and Giggs behind me. But we also need to have a goalkeeper, so there are too many attackers. Defensively, Stam alone is enough, and with van der Sar, his foot skills are also very strong. So, I'll end up with Edwin (van der Sar), Jap (Stam), Bey Jr. on the right, Giggs on the left, and I'm the striker, maybe the 121 formation? It wasn't fair to Scholes, Keane, Ronaldo and Looney, but that's how I chose."
