Manchester United have identified Nottingham Forest defender Murillo as a top target for their summer rebuild, with the club determined to strengthen a back line that has struggled throughout the season. According to the Daily Mail, United see the Brazilian centre-back as an ideal long-term replacement for Harry Maguire, who is set to leave Old Trafford after seven years at the club.
But despite United's recent loss of form, winning just once in their last seven games in all competitions, Carrick will be expected to work with the players at his disposal. Sources have said that United are aware of the need to bolster their midfield options, but with none of their leading targets available this month -- United are interested in Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Brighton's Carlos Baleba -- the club will not make short-term signings to plug the gaps.
