Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will undoubtedly be looking to add to his central defence options in the summer transfer window.
Both Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans are expected to either leave or have greatly reduced roles respectively come the end of the season. Luke Shaw is not getting any younger either and Lisandro Martinez's devastating injury earlier this month compiles the need to look for defensive options.
One name who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford is Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen. The 19-year-old arrived from Juventus in the summer and has lit up the Premier League with some outstanding performances.

It is a good job, then, that the Cherries decided to include a £50m release clause in his contract when he signed. A host of European football's top clubs are now being linked with the Spanish U21 international including; Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and even United.
Unfortunately for fans of the teenage centre-back, his next destination after Bournemouth is unlikely to be United, as things stand. MEN Sport understands that Huijsen is not on the Reds' radar presently despite reports elsewhere to the contrary.
United refused the temptation to sign a striker on deadline day after the decision was made not to spend money on a player who could be considered to be a short-term option. The Manchester Evening News understands that the Reds are looking to save their money until the summer when it is likely that the club will discover better value in the market.
Amorim's system at United requires three centre-backs with Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire and Noussair Mazraoui starting last week's victory over Leicester City in the FA Cup.
