MANCHESTER UNITED'S move for \u00a334million Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo is "in sight", according to reports.<\/p>\n
The deal will go ahead even if Harry Maguire chooses to remain at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag has been on the hunt all summer for a centre-back despite uncertainty over Maguire's future at United. <\/p>\n
Todibo's contract at Nice does not run out until 2027, however, a move to the Premier League is likely.<\/p>\n
This comes as GetFootball reported United are closing in on a deal and a transfer is "in sight".<\/p>\n
The defender had a difficult start to his senior career with Barcelonaand loan spells at Benfica and Schalke. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the French star found his feet with a permament move from the Nou Camp to Ligue 1 side Nice in 2021 for \u00a38.5m.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old has now made 67 appearances for the French side in Ligue 1, becoming a key player in their back line.<\/p>\n
His success at the Allianz Riviera earned him his first French international call-up back in March.<\/p>\n
United scouts watched Nice's vice-captain play against Lille OSC in a Ligue 1 curtain-raiser and were convinced on the move. <\/p>\n
