According to latest reports, Manchester United are ready to finally sign a quality central defender.

The 27 year old has been one of the best defenders in La Liga and one of the main reasons why Valencia have been flying high this season.

Valencia are currently third in the Spanish league a point ahead of Atletico Madrid mainly because of their solid defense.
