Erik ten Hag has been on the hunt all summer for a centre-back despite uncertainty over Maguire’s future at United.

Todibo’s contract at Nice does not run out until 2027, however, a move to the Premier League is likely.

This comes as GetFootball reported United are closing in on a deal and a transfer is “in sight”.

The defender had a difficult start to his senior career with Barcelona and loan spells at Benfica and Schalke.

But the French star found his feet with a permament move from the Nou Camp to Ligue 1 side Nice in 2021 for £8.5m.

The 23-year-old has now made 67 appearances for the French side in Ligue 1, becoming a key player in their back line.

His success at the Allianz Riviera earned him his first French international call-up back in March.

United scouts watched Nice’s vice-captain play against Lille OSC in a Ligue 1 curtain-raiser and were convinced on the move.

Bayern Munich‘s Benjamin Pavard was also on United’s radar but the defender prefers a move to Inter Milan.

Todibo’s potential arrival will likely push former captain Maguire towards the exit door.

The England international was linked to joining Premier League rivals West Ham in a £30m deal.

But the deal collapsed as Maguire wanted a pay-off of around £15m to leave United.
