Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and John Murtough have decided on a six-man centre-back shortlist ahead of this summer's transfer window.
Manchester United have improved under the Norwegian but still remain one or two signings short of mounting a serious Premier League title charge - namely in the forward and defensive positions.
This is an area Solskjaer is monitoring, especially with Eric Bailly's future up in the air.
The Ivory Coast defender has proved unreliable with his fitness record but has also grown frustrated at his lack of game time when available.
Should discussions over a new deal stall, with the Ivorian possibly keen to ply his trade elsewhere, then Solskjaer has a back up plan at the ready - a six-man transfer shortlist.
According to Eurosport, the first four names are Sevilla's Jules Kounde, Villarrealโs Pau Torres, Real Madrid's Raphael Varane and RB Leipzig's Ibrahima Konate.
The remaining two names have yet to be revealed but it is claimed they are being looked into seriously.
At 22, Kounde has also been linked with Chelsea and Real Madrid after a stellar two seasons in La Liga. Torres has already been mooted with a move to United as well as neighbours Manchester City.
Varane has been on United's radar for years but a move has never materialised. It seems now Real Madrid would finally be willing to listen to offers.
As for Konate, Liverpool have emerged as contenders in recent days as they look to bulk out their defence and get back on track next season.
Solskjaer's priority is to have a fit and firing Bailly to call upon and deploy next to Harry Maguire, but it seems he's made back up plans just in case that can't happen.

Mate @Andy_Mac is correct . Just like you guys got Muhsen_97 banned for targetting particular nationalities , even true_red would have been banned for the same offence . I didn't report his comment a week ago bcuz he is friends with lukzlat910 , who's a good friend of mine , and he told us to ignore true_red ( which I didn't tho ๐ ) . He is targetting Asian and African communities quite often . Indian and Negirian are his recent targets . Don't get me wrong , but true_red is indeed very agressive and he often spoils peace on this app . The way he presents his views are quite unacceptable . Past time when I had a argument with him , I came out from no reason . I was trying to explain him that AFY won't ban visitors accounts from commenting , bcuz visitors increas a lot of activity on this app , but he got offended on things as small as this and heated the argument up .
I only said English garbage I think I didnโt even meant about his community and he has the audacity to call me a racist when he made fun of that dude

No it's not funny and no I don't defend him because of fellow united fan. I thought I gave you my clear reasoning of why I won't take offense of that pic. Now you are being unreasonable judging me a racist lover without any basis. I am being open minded and considerate enough to understand that how you might be offended with that pic. But for you to force your way of thinking on me and judging me defending racism when I'm not 100% agree with you, what does it say about you? What makes you different than those white colonials? I think you are too close minded to have this conversation. Have a good one.

Don't ever approach me for peace treaties in the false pretense of having a great community if you're not prepared to understand the issues of racism. It's not my problem that you lack empathy and you're not prepared to listen. There is no peace if there is no empathy. I think there shouldn't be a need to insult someone while associating their nationalities and photos of some random people with big yellow teeth. On a football platform, these aren't necessary. Yet you still think it's acceptable just because you don't feel insulted. When people stop associating nationalities and race with insulting words, maybe then we can weed out racism. Otherwise, we'll always have individuals living in denial because their egos are too big to admit that the problem exists.
