Brentford defender Nathan Collins has landed on Manchester United's shortlist of targets ahead of the January transfer window.

Manchester United are reportedly considering Brentford centre-back Nathan Collins as a potential transfer target for the January window. Collins, Fulham's Calvin Bassey, and Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite are said to be on the club's shortlist. According to the Daily Mail, United may be forced into the market early after initially planning to postpone their defensive overhaul until next year.
The report highlights Collins' aerial dominance and ball-playing skills since his £23 million move to Brentford in 2023. Meanwhile, writer Vishal Singh argues that United's defensive struggles have undermined manager Michael Carrick, leaving the team inside the relegation zone.
