Manchester United keen to bring in AC Milan’s Davide Calabria as Antonio Valencia replacement

Manchester United are interested in signing AC Milan defender Davide Calabria, according to reports from the Mirror.

The Red Devils are looking to sign the right-back due to veteran Antonio Valencia looking likely to leave Old Trafford in the summer as he nears the end of his career.

The 22-year-old Italian has impressed United scouts this season in their hunt for a new full-back and has emerged as the favourite summer target.

Everton have also shown interest in the Italy Under-21 international after he has been an integral part of Milan’s defence this season, playing 27 games in all competitions.

Jose Mourinho signed full-back Diogo Dalot from Porto last summer and at the time said that he could claim the right-back slot for the next decade.

However, the Portuguese defender has not established himself as a regular and has been deployed further forward by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in recent matches.

With Valencia turning 34 in August it is vital that United look for a new option otherwise they risk falling short in the right-back position next season.
