While Bayer Leverkusen speed-machine Jeremie Frimpong appears to be Erik ten Hag’s number one right-back target – and potentially the key to unlocking Antony’s vast potential – United also seem to be in the market for a more versatile addition.
Namely, a centre-half capable of providing competition for Raphael Varane. One who can also fill in on the flank if required.
Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard is equally comfortable in either position. Ditto Ajax’s Jurrien Timber. Disasi, meanwhile, has featured on the right at times for Monaco too, even if he remains more effective in the centre.
One of Europe’s most underrated defenders; FootMercato and the Daily Mail believe that talks between Monaco and Man United are underway. The 25-year-old, who has five goals and four assists this term, is reportedly valued in the £45 million bracket.
Monaco are used to selling and replacing key players, they have done it for years, going right back to Patrice Evra.
And, according L’Equipe, via GFFN, a Monaco side who also sold Kylian Mbappe, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva and co for massive profits believe the time is right to cash in on Disasi too. Especially with just two years remaining on his contract.
The one-time Wolves and Southampton target, meanwhile, told Goal last month that he would consider a new challenge, with regular European football the aim for a man looking to establish himself further in the French national set-up.
You have to play Europe regularly and be among the best. We are talking about the Champions League of course. I want to taste it, and I want to give myself the means to be there.”
“I feel that I’m passing milestones. I’ve just turned 25, I want to know the very, very highest level,” Disasi adds.
“We’ll see what happens for the end of the season. Depending on the club’s results, my thoughts will arise.”
Disasi would give Ten Hag a more technically-gifted option alongside Lisandro Martinez at right-centre-half. His arrival would also open the door for Harry Maguire to depart.
