Man Utd Transfers: 5 Defenders Fergie Should Target
5. Kurt Zouma
Kurt Zouma is man child. Despite being just 18 years of age, the Saint-Etienne centre-back has a monstrous frame which has allowed him to compete with Ligue 1 strikers immediately. He's a robust, physical defender who puts himself about and doesn't shy away from a challenge. The technical part of his game is still yet to develophe's still very much a win it and hoof it-esque defenderbut skills of the deck will come with time, and who better to learn from than Rio Ferdinand? Prospects like this make one successful move and that's it. Don't miss the boat on Zouma. Likelihood? Ferguson's scouts are used to dipping into the French market and will be well aware of this kid. He's entered the Ligue 1 market for Patrice Evra and Gabriel Obertan in the past, so don't be surprised to see Zouma become a subject of interest. It might be, however, that Fergie looks directly for a ball-playing centre-half to accompany Chris Smalling rather than opt for a similar, no-nonsense type. 6/10
