Man Utd have reportedly added Valentino Livramento to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Newcastle defender is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Arsenal and Manchester City remain in the background, but for now, Man Utd are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far in this season, Man Utd are conceding 1.58 goals a game (19 in 12), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Valentino Livramento adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Newcastle have also been linked with Jorthy Mokio, Ruben Neves and Kees Smit while Man Utd are reportedly monitoring Forzan Assan Ouedraogo, Jeremy Jacquet and Jorthy Mokio.
