The Manchester United centre-back that Leeds United could sign

Leeds United had some real defensive issues last season and with only three central defenders on their books and no new ones signed, it’s hard to see anything changing next season. Here’s a defender that Leeds United could certainly do with trying to sign this transfer window…

Manchester United’s Axel Tuanzebe is an incredibly talented young defender who would walk straight into Leeds United’s back line with ease and link up with Pontus Jansson perfectly.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at Aston Villa where he made just five appearances but ever so nearly won promotion back to the big time. Unfortunately, his time at Villa wasn’t successful. But when you’re battling to get in ahead of two inform centre-backs like James Chester and John Terry, it was never going to be plain sailing.

Despite not getting a permanent starting place within the Villa side there’s no doubt this young man has bags of talent and would be the perfect addition to Leeds United’s defence. Standing at 6ft 1″ he’s not the most towering defender in the world but his technical ability more than makes up for that.

Tuanzebe and Pontus Jansson would be a formidable defensive partnership next season and one many clubs would dream of having. Tuanzebe has made his full senior debut for Manchester United and has also made his debut in the UEFA Champions League against CSKA Moscow. With Jansson being a World Cup quarterfinalist with Sweden the partnership wouldn’t be short of experience at the highest levels of the game either.

Keep an eye on Leeds United’s defensive situation. They need improvements and if any man can bring them in, it’s Leeds United’s Marcelo Bielsa.
