Berbatov talks up Man Utd January move for Maguire

The former Red Devils striker believes Jose Mourinho would be wise to return to his summer target to give his defence a lift

Dimitar Berbatov has suggested that Manchester United should look at making a January move for Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire.

Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho had been keen to strengthen his defence in the summer, with form and fitness issues having hampered United during the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

Mourinho reportedly considered Leicester's England World Cup star a valid target in summer alongside Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld - but reportedly failed to persude executive vice-charirman Ed Woodward to make a a big-money move for either.
