Manchester United are keen on signing 22-year-old highly rated RB Leipzig defender this summer

Manchester United are keen on 22-year-old RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal across the line.

Manchester United need defensive reinforcements and signing a central defender could prove to be a wise decision.

The 22-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could develop into a key player for the Red Devils with the right guidance.

He will help them tighten up at the back and improve defensively. Manchester United paid a substantial amount of money for Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro at the start of the season. However, they still need reinforcements in that area of the beach.

Lukeba will be attracted to the idea of moving to the Premier League and the opportunity to play for Manchester United would be quite attractive. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it will be hard for any player to turn them down.

Manchester United need a quality defender
Manchester United have not been their best this season and they are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification. However, they have a talented squad and a quality manager.

They will look to bounce back strongly in the coming seasons and they need quality additions in order for that will happen. Signing the 22-year-old defender will only help them improve further.

They will be hoping to compete with the elite clubs next season and they need top quality additions.

Meanwhile, the defender is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition and RB Leipzig could demand a premium for him. Manchester United have to pay a substantial amount of money for the player, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to break the bank for him.

The defender is only 22, and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience. If he manages to adapt to English football quickly, he could easily justify the investment
