Manchester United pursue Luka Vuskovic amid defensive troubles

Summary

Manchester United is reportedly in the race for Brighton's Luka Vuskovic following strong performances this season. United's defensive woes have been highlighted by injuries to key players, including Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez. The club's scouts were particularly impressed by Vuskovic’s play during a recent Carabao Cup match against them. With multiple Premier League teams also interested, United's pursuit may be complicated. Brighton is unwilling to sell Vuskovic without a significant offer, and Tottenham holds a buyback clause from his summer transfer.
