Manchester City look set to go head-to-head with neighbours United in the race for Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.

Both sides have shown defensive deficiencies this season and, with question marks over the long-term fitness of captain Vincent Kompany, City boss Guardiola clearly feels that it is a priority to bring in a quality defender.

However, it’s also Alaba’s versatility that could hugely benefit City, as the 24-year-old can play centre-back and left-back, and could therefore be the long-term replacement to Aleksandar Kolarov and Gael Clichy, both of whom are over 30.

Guardiola’s previous stint in charge at Bayern could sway Alaba’s decision, and it’s a deal the City boss must try and clinch in January.
