The Red Devils have conceded 30 goals in all competitions this season, and Michael Carrick is feeling the pressure at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HWx9YdbXEAAOXQH.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Matthijs de Ligt has only just returned from a lengthy back problem, while Lisandro Mart\u00ednez and Harry Maguire are both entering the final year of their contracts. Leny Yoro has often been deployed at right-back, and teenager Ayden Heaven is still developing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Fulham\u2019s Calvin Bassey and Everton\u2019s Jarrod Branthwaite are also said to be on United\u2019s shortlist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Why Collins Fits the Profile<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Standing 6ft 4in, the right-footed Collins is strong in the air, composed in possession and reliable defensively. Last season he scored twice and provided three assists in 41 appearances, helping Brentford to 10 clean sheets. He has featured mainly in a rotational role this term, though he has again found the net twice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The 25-year-old captains the Republic of Ireland and has plenty of Premier League experience. With his contract running until 2029, Brentford are well placed to demand a hefty fee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Our Take<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Collins looks a sensible target for a side needing height and physicality at the back. At 25, he offers several years of top-level service, and United\u2019s injury and contract concerns make fresh options appealing. The price tag will be the sticking point, as Brentford have no need to sell. It remains to be seen whether United make a firm move in January or wait until the summer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United Consider Defensive Reinforcements Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a January approach for Brentford centre-back Nathan Collins, according to the Daily Mail.
