Chelsea and Manchester United were interested in luring Atletico Madrid center half Miranda in the summer transfer window but eventually he stayed with the Spanish champions.
However, the two clubs will battle for his signature once again in the winter transfer window as well.
The Red Devil supporters are fed up to see the horrific performances from their defensive unit that clearly lacks a leader for now.
According to reports, Man United are ready to secure the significant signing of €31 million rated Miranda.
As per the provided link, the English giants have plans of letting former Chelsea star and last winter’s signing Juan Mata leave the club to join Atletico in order to sign Miranda.
Chelsea currently have the central defense partnership of Gary Cahill and captain John Terry whose contract was extended for another year. Whether or not he will get more time, we shall see but Chelsea do need to strengthen their central defense.
The Blues do have young Kurt Zouma but if Terry is set to leave at the end of this season then Chelsea may consider signing Miranda seriously.
There is no doubt that Manchester United need him more than Chelsea and must do all to secure his signature.
Still, signing players like Miranda, Hummels that too in mid-season is by no means easy, mainly because players get cuptied in Champions League.

It’s a good idea to off load the area with excessive so as to be able to strengthen the weak area.Mata can go but should get a really right player for the right position pls.Man U need repair at the back.
Best Regards.

Its a good swoop. Bcos mata is weak and he cannot mark. We need Miranda more than mata. LVG buy Miranda and Vlaar from Aston villa and Otamendi. Hummel will be very hard to get. But those three are ok. Sell Ashley young + Anderson + Smalling in january transfer market.
Van Gal must know that this is premier leaque and not spainish or bundesliga leaque at all, gor Vertonghen & Otaimadi as the best options, Luke Shaw is the best to play on the left wing period.
