After the defeat against Bournemouth, the 60 million star that Ten Hag asks for

Manchester United are not having a good time at all in the current season and have now suffered a painful defeat against Bournemouth that leaves them out of the top places in the Premier League. This makes the club begin to evaluate options and like a possible reinforcement in defense of a player valued at 60 million.

The dispute over sought-after Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has reached a fever pitch with Manchester United and Tottenham showing a firm interest in the 23-year-old, according to sources close to Football Insider. Both Premier League clubs are looking to strengthen their defensive options and have begun talks with the Eagles to secure the services of the England international.

Crystal Palace value Guehi at £60m, but the Red Devils are set to table a £45m bid in the January transfer window. Since his arrival from Chelsea in 2021 for £20m, Guehi has distinguished himself as one of the league's best young centre-backs, racking up 98 appearances in all competitions and securing a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad.

The need for defensive reinforcements is pressing for both clubs. Manchester United are facing injury problems with Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martínez, while Raphael Varane has had limited involvement this season. On the other hand, Tottenham is looking to strengthen its defense after Micky van de Ven's long-term injury and criticism of Eric Dier for his performances, according to Footbal Insider.
