MANCHESTER UNITED are exploring ways to improve their leaky defence and have drawn up a four-man shortlist ahead of the January transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Red Devils have conceded 18 goals in 11 games this season, keeping just three clean sheets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag's squad has been decimated by injury, particularly in defence.<\/p>\n

United have not been able to field a natural left-back in the past three games with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguillon all on the treatment table.<\/p>\n

Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has also been injured for several weeks; Raphael Varane has missed games, and Lisandro Martinez is not expected to be fit until the new year due to a metatarsal injury.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag has been forced to call on back-up options Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof, but that could change if United manage to land one of their four January targets.<\/p>\n

Goncalo Inacio<\/h2>\n

United first registered an interest in the Sporting Lisbon star in the summer of 2022, with Newcastle also said to be keen.<\/p>\n

Inacio, 22, is under contract until 2026 and he has a big buyout clause worth \u00a350million.<\/p>\n

SunSport\u00a0understands a\u00a0United\u00a0scout has been sent to Lisbon and told to closely monitor the Portuguese international over the next couple of months ahead of launching a bid in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Inacio came through the Sporting academy and has made 129 appearances for the Portuguese outfit.<\/p>\n

Antonio Silva<\/h2>\n

Silva has been scouted by the Red Devils since last year, when he first broke into Benfica's first team at just 18 years old.<\/p>\n

He has gone from strength to strength and also attracted attention from PSG, which has inflated his transfer value.<\/p>\n

Silva, 19, is under contract until 2027 and Benfica are unlikely to let him leave for less than \u00a387m.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jean-Clair Todibo<\/h2>\n

United tried to sign the French centre-back, who has helped Nice remain unbeaten in Ligue Un this season, in the summer.<\/p>\n

Todibo, 23, revealed he carefully considered his options but was fearful joining United would prove to be a mistake as it could disrupt his form ahead of the Euros.<\/p>\n

Tottenham also like the look of the defender but were put off by his \u00a334m asking price in the summer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Edmond Tapsoba<\/h2>\n

The centre-back has impressed for Bundesliga table toppers Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n

His athleticism would be well suited to the Premier League and Tapsoba said he was flattered by the interest from the UK.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen set his asking price at \u00a361m but he is now in the final year of his contract so could be available for a cut-price deal in January.<\/p>\n
