Manchester Uniteds seemingly never-ending search for a new world class centre-back could see them splash out on Romas Greek ace Kostas Manolas this month.A host of reports have claimed recently that United are set to spend around 32m on Manolas in the January transfer window as they strive to bolster their defensive options.
4Kostas Manolas vs Victor Lindelof: Age and longevity
Manolas will be 28 years old this summer, a prime age for a centre-back. He already has a wealth of top-level experience having been a mainstay of Romas side for the past five years.Manolas could easily be Uniteds first-choice for the next five years.Lindelof struggled in his first year at United last season following a 30m move from Benfica. But now at 24 years old, he has started to show more consistency and still has time to improve.Being named Swedens best defender in 2016 shows his credentials but United may have doubts over whether he can reach an elite level.
4Kostas Manolas vs Victor Lindelof: Record in recent years
Manolas has been one of Romas best players in recent seasons, making 40-plus appearances for the club in each campaign since joining from Olympaikos.He also has a good knack of scoring and netted four times last term.Lindelof was superb in his final year at Benfica but struggled to continue that form after moving to England. He made 17 Premier League appearances last term, keeping five clean sheets.

4Kostas Manolas vs Victor Lindelof: On the international stage
Due to Greeces poor showings in recent years, Manolas has not made any major impressions on the international scene.
