Manchester United Transfer Rumors: Mathieu Debuchy Is a Logical Target for Team

There isn't much time for Manchester United to lament after a season that saw them lose the Premier League title over goal differential to Manchester City. There is, though, the business of improving the squad for next season via the transfer window.

And one such target might be Mathieu Debuchy of Lille, according to Metro:

"

He is keen to move on in the summer and reports in France suggest his club will sell if a £6.5million bid is received.

Scouts from a number of major teams have watched Debuchy this season, and both Bayern Munich and Valencia are known to be interested.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson traveled to France to see him in action when Lille faced Lyon in March and is now believed to be giving serious thought to making an offer.

"

It's a logical move for the Red Devils, who could seriously use an upgrade at right-back. Reinforcing the play in the defensive third should be a priority for United, and Debuchy would certainly help in that regard.

The Red Devils shuffled a number of players in at the position, clearly feeling the void left by Gary Neville.

Debuchy would be the perfect fit. While solid defensively, he is not shy about joining the rush and will attack aggressively when the time calls for it.

It may not be the sexiest move for United, but it would seem to be a wise one. Debuchy is a solid two-way player and a nice fit at a need position.

Let Manchester City throw its money about. United would be spending wisely if it pursued Debuchy.
