Eliaquim Mangala (FC Porto)
Central defence is an area of the team that Moyes has identified as being in need of some urgent reinforcements in the January transfer window, especially given the current injury doubts surrounding both first-choice centre-backs Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
The Scot has reportedly already made up his mind that neither the Englishman or the Serb have a future at Old Trafford, and he now wants to bring in defensive reinforcements as quickly as possible.
And as a result, Moyes wants to lure the in-demand France international to the Theatre of Dreams in the January transfer window, although he knows he will face stiff competition from city rivals Manchester City in the race to land the £38m-rated centre back.
