Manchester united in race to sign Nigerian defender

Manchester United hope to win the race for Fulham’s impending free agent, Tosin Adarabioyo, Per ESPN via TeamTalk.

Adarabioyo will leave Craven Cottage as a free agent this summer.

Italian journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has previously confirmed that decision has already been taken by the player.

A host of Premier League sides including Tottenham and Chelsea have shown interest in the 26-year-old with United also linked.

Two exits are thus on the cards at United and according to ESPN, one of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof could be part of the exodus too.

They stated that United are ‘open to offers’ for both stars. However, it’s anticipated only one of the two will leave.

Selling both as well as waving goodbye to Varane and Evans would leave the club with just Lisandro Martinez and the inexperienced Willy Kambwala.

As such, only one of Maguire and Lindelof is expected to depart.

Meanwhile, TEAMtalk reported that Newcastle United were in advanced talks with the player.

The Daily Mail subsequently highlighted two reasons why Adarabioyo looks favourably upon a move to St. James’ Park. But per ESPN, United could shatter Eddie Howe’s dream.
