Man United Ramos deal falls through – five alternatives.
Five alternative defenders as the Man United Ramos deal falls through, with the Real Madrid man set to sign a new contract at the Bernabeu…
1) Nicolas Otamendi (Valencia)
Linked with United for so much of the summer, Valencia’s Nicolas Otamendi seems another likely candidate the club could try to bring in to strengthen their defence for the new season.

2) John Stones (Everton)
Valued at a staggering £40m by Everton, United are also competing with Chelsea and Manchester City for the signing of exciting England youngster John Stones, one of the best young centre-backs in Europe.
3) Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid)
Linked with United and other big clubs in recent times, Atletico Madrid hard-man Diego Godin could be another ideal option for the Red Devils to consider before the end of the transfer window.
4) Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund)
No longer thought to be a top target for United, but it could be worth reviving their interest in Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels this summer.
5) Stefan de Vrij (Lazio)
One of Louis van Gaal’s favourites, Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij has been linked with United several times in the past and could be a smart buy from Lazio.
