Manchester United is still looking for a center despite a move for Harry Maguire. The reports suggest that the Red Devils are still a bit out of Leicester City's valuation and if the transfer fails, they will focus their attention elsewhere.

According to Turkish football, Manchester United has identified new Juventus rookie Merih Demiral as an alternative to Harry Maguire. The Turkish international has just moved to Juventus for a final transfer, before his arrival is overshadowed by that of Matthijs de Ligt.

In addition, the report states that Juventus would be willing to give up Demiral, provided that it includes a buy-back clause. The player of the national team of Turkey has not been loaned and has been the subject of a rejected offer from AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Demiral is a self-proclaimed fan of Nemanja Vidic. The Serbian defender is known for his stint at Manchester United, during which he formed an indestructible partnership with Rio Ferdinand.

"When I was young, I always followed Nemanja Vidic to Manchester United. I had used to watch snippets of it on the internet. He is still my idol even though he has retired. He was brave, a warrior, he never gave up and was a real leader, "said Demiral in a recent interview.

FOX Sports Asia Probability Index: 3/5; Similar to the case of Mattia Caldara last year, Merih Demiral is in a difficult situation at Juventus. The Bianconeri brought it with a vision for the future, but then signed by signing Matthijs de Ligt. With their current defensive depth, it seems unlikely that Demiral will enter the first team. And so, a move elsewhere is a sign.

However, Manchester United will have to fight a few clubs for his signature and will prefer to focus his efforts on getting Harry Maguire.
