da betsul： Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho looks set to overhaul his defence in the summer as he yet again seeks to make the necessary improvements to close the gap on bitter rivals City.
da betobet： Despite Antonio Valencia’s monopoly over the right-back slot at Old Trafford, the former Wigan man is uninspiring and the wrong side of 30. Mourinho must be looking to improve.
Some people might think that having more mobile full-backs would allow Mourinho to push his United side higher up the pitch, but the Portuguese is still likely to want them to be solid first.
Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich fits that bill perfectly. He is the next Philipp Lahm, with outstanding technique to go with his robust style and versatility.
Against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals, the German international – valued at £49.5m by Transfermarkt – opened the scoring and was his usual dependable self.
Three key passes and five crosses show that he is more than capable of pushing forward and offering that attacking thrust Mourinho will be looking for.
Going the other way, two interceptions and a pass success rate of 88 per cent are evidence of a man who would not let United down defensively.
Kimmich would be a major upgrade on Valencia and would solve United’s right-back dilemma for the next eight to ten seasons. A summer bid is a no-brainer if Mourinho is serious about a title charge.
