Mark Ogden, who has a good reputation when it comes to transfers, thinks that Manchester United will target one more defender, and an energetic midfielder at a minimum.

Patrice Evra has agreed personal terms with Juventus, with the two clubs yet to agree on a transfer fee, claims Di Marzio. Evra, who signed a one-year contract extension with United in June, is still in Van Gaal’s plans however. It is understandable that Evra may want to leave, and not play out of favour behind Luke Shaw.
