Manchester United\u00a0reportedly remain keen on signing Nice central defender Jean-Clair Todibo after a transfer failed to materialise during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
Mail Sport reported back in August that the Red Devils were viewed\u00a0Todibo as an option at centre-back, as\u00a0Harry Maguire\u00a0considered\u00a0a move to West Ham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The England centre-half ultimately stayed at the club, despite David Moyes’ side tabling bids of around \u00a330million.<\/p>\n
Man United still remain keen on\u00a0Todibo, with Fabrizio Romano reporting the club could follow up on their interest during the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
A move would likely again hinge on whether Maguire remains at the club, with Man United’s former club captain having slipped down the pecking order at centre back.<\/p>\n

Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba and Benfica teenager\u00a0Antonio Silva are reportedly among other options Man United could pursue besides Todibo.<\/p>\n
A move for\u00a0Tapsoba could be complicated by the defender signing a new contract earlier this month, committing his future to the Bundesliga side until 2028.<\/p>\n
Todibo had discussed reports of Man United’s interest earlier this month, revealing he did not want to make a ‘mistake’ when deciding his future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I experienced it differently from my previous situations in my career. My thinking was much more in-depth, thoughtful. I didn’t want to make a mistake in my choice. I remained very calm,’ Todibo told\u00a0L’Equipe.<\/p>\n
‘Reflection is much more important than when I started. I’m waiting to be presented with the complete project.<\/p>\n
‘What is expected of me? Why am I coming? You shouldn’t arrive at a club like that. I know what I have at Nice. Why go into the unknown? So, everything must be clear. My first transfer, I was 18 years old. The thinking was not as thorough.’<\/p>\n
Todibo had acknowledged a move to a ‘top club’ would boost his prospects at international level with France.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old has made 108 appearances at Nice, who he joined from Barcelona in 2021.<\/p>\n
Todibo, who began his career at Toulouse, has enjoyed a strong start to the season helping Nice to keep three clean sheets in six Ligue 1 matches.<\/p>\n
The unbeaten start to the season has seen Nice occupy second place in Ligue 1, one point behind\u00a0surprise leaders Stade Brestois.<\/p>\n
