Louis van Gaal’s defensive wishlist – The five centre-backs Manchester United are looking to sign including Chelsea target

Eliaquim Mangala, FC Porto

Another from the Portuguese top flight now and a player who has been heavily linked with a Premier League transfer for some time – with Chelsea and Manchester City also thought to be interested.

The 23-year-old is undoubtedly a fine defender and with the ability to play both centrally and as a left-back, Mangala is understandably an attractive prospect.

However, with Porto in a strong position to negotiate any potential buyer runs the risk of overpaying for the France international.
