Man Utd plot record £89m move for Koulibaly

Manchester United are set to make Kalidou Koulibaly to make the world’s most expensive defender in January as they look to strengthen their defence.

The Mirror reports that Jose Mourinho has identified the 27-year-old as his ideal signing in the winter transfer market but will have to wait until the summer if necessary.

Despite being valued at £89 million, United are tipped as favourites to land ahead of Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool.
