Manchester United Football Club have had Neven Subotic watched this season.

Sir Alex Ferguson faces something of a dilemma in the heart of his defence in the coming months, with Nemanja Vidic widely expected to leave Old Trafford in the summer.

And with Rio Ferdinand’s injury problems causing concern, plus the fact he will be 32-years-old next season, the Reds boss needs reinforcements.

Subotic, 21, is rated as one of the best young defenders in European football, and The People claim United have had Borussia Dortmund’s Serb watched on occasions this season.

Arsenal, Manchester City and a host of top European clubs have also been linked with the youngster, who is rated at around £20million by his current employers.
