Man United have been “directly offered” Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo, according to talkSPORT reporter Ben Jacobs.
Speaking on The United Stand YouTube channel, Jacobs said that the 28-year-old is one of several players who are on United’s radar as they look to strengthen the middle of defence:

“Tosin [Adarabioyo] was a player that was “directly offered” to Manchester United as a squad player. He needs to find a late window solution.”
Adarabioyo is not the only centre-back who has been looked at
A teammate of Tosin’s, Josh Acheampong, is said to be of interest to the Red Devils, but after starting Chelsea’s first game of the season against Fulham on Monday night, the 20-year-old is not expected to be on the market.
Jacobs also confirmed that United’s recruitment team have discussed a move for Southampton’s Taylor Harwood-Bellis “internally”.
The former Manchester City player is attracting interest from Aston Villa as well, but the Midlands club are reluctant to match his reported £30m asking price.

Are Man Utd still in the market for a left-back?
The Manchester club have admitted defeat in their attempts to land Newcastle’s Lewis Hall THIS summer, but they are still hopeful of securing his services in the future.
For that reason, Director of Football Jason Wilcox is said to be exploring shorter-term options to provide cover for Luke Shaw.
United would have been open to a loan deal for Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde, but the player has made it clear that he wants to stay at the Camp Nou.
Other names, such as Racing Santander’s Jorge Salinas and RB Leipzig’s David Raum, are in the mix, but the club will not want to sign someone who could potentially block Hall’s pathway if he does make the switch to Old Trafford next year.
