The Red Devils are not having the best start to the season. In fact, not since the 1989/90 campaign have Manchester United lost four of the first seven league games of the season.
As a result, they are already considering reinforcing their squad for both the January and summer transfer markets. The defence of Erik ten Hag's side is one of the problems that is costing them dearly.
Raphael Varane, who seems to be fully recovered, and Harry Maguire have been absent in recent matches. For this reason, the Red Devils are looking to bolster their back-lines.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, United have already set a top priority target for next term. Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva is being scouted by the Manchester outfit.
Several top European clubs such as Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on the 19-year-old because he has a lot of potential as a defender.
