On current evidence, Manchester United need a lot more than just another midfield signing.<\/p>\n
At the back, Michael Carrick will be without his two best defenders: Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez for the start of the new campaign.<\/p>\n
Add Harry Maguire\u2019s own injury problems to the list and Leny Yoro\u2019s possible utilisation as a backup right back, and it is safe to say that the Red Devils could do with another centre-back.<\/p>\n
However, as relayed by The Peoples Person<\/em>strengthening at the back is not a priority for INEOS at the moment, even though they are on the lookout for Maguire\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n As revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs, the 20-time English league champions have their eyes on a super talent from Serie A for the role.<\/p>\n Jacobo Ramon, who is setting the Italian league alight with Como, is someone the United hierarchy admire.<\/p>\n There is interest in the former Real Madrid ace from Chelsea as well, but the player is likely to stay put at Como for now, with Champions League football on offer and the chance to keep developing under Cesc Fabregas.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is appreciation for Jacobo Ram\u00f3n, and Chelsea have looked at him. Como would like to keep him, and they have Champions League football.<\/p>\n \u201cJacobo Ram\u00f3n is probably attainable for the right fee, but Como have Champions League football. I get the sense that Como might say, \u2018For the right price, we\u2019ll sell,\u2019 but the player himself may prefer to stay and play regular Champions League football as a starter.<\/p>\n \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t necessarily do that if he joined Manchester United, where he\u2019d likely be a squad player rather than an immediate starter.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether the Spain Under-21 international is someone United revisit later in the window will be interesting to see.<\/p>\n If he stays at Como and keeps impressing, there is a high chance there will be a bidding war for Jacobo Ramon next summer. His former club also possess a buy-back clause, which will make things even more interesting.<\/p>\n Feature image Gabriele Maltinti via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
