Manchester United are hoping to pair Nicolas Otamendi with Sergio Ramos at the heart of their defence next season, according to reports.
Marco Ruiz of AS writes that the Red Devils have cited the former, who was hugely impressive in the 2014-15 season, as the man to potentially partner Ramos in their back four. Ruiz claims that Madrid remain concerned about losing the Spaniard to United and are themselves interested in Otamendi as well as Zenit Saint Petersburg’s Ezequiel Garay.
The prospect of the two holding the fort at the base of this team is a tantalising one for the Old Trafford faithful.
