Manchester United have reportedly entered the fray in the pursuit of Nigerian central defender Tosin Adarabioyo during the upcoming summer transfer window. The defender, a product of the Manchester City academy, is poised to depart Fulham after a four-year spell, having declined a lucrative contract extension offer from Craven Cottage.
Previously linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, Tosin now finds himself attracting interest from Manchester United as well, according to reports. ESPN's Rob Dawson, covering Manchester City and Manchester United, has indicated that the Red Devils are keen on securing Tosin's services, potentially on a free transfer come summer.
With uncertainties surrounding the futures of Raphaël Varane, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelöf, and Jonny Evans, Manchester United are actively seeking reinforcements in the central defensive department. Both Varane and Evans are nearing the end of their contracts, while either Maguire or Lindelöf is anticipated to depart during the upcoming transfer window.
Adding to the intrigue, Jason Wilcox, recently appointed as Manchester United's technical director, shares a history with Tosin from their time together at Manchester City. This familiarity may play a role in United's pursuit of the Nigerian defender, enhancing their chances of securing his signature.
Tosin has been a regular fixture for Fulham this season, making twenty-five appearances across all competitions, including twenty-two starts. Despite his contributions, manager Marco Silva has sidelined him in recent matches against Crystal Palace and Brentford, indicating his surplus status at the club.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the race for Tosin's signature is heating up, with Manchester United emerging as a potential destination for the talented defender. With his contract expiring and opportunities dwindling at Fulham, Tosin is poised for a new chapter in his career, with several top clubs vying for his services.
