Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Juventus centre-back Angelo Ogbonna.

The 26-year-old moved to Juve from Torino in 2013, but it is understood that the Italian wants guaranteed first-team football, which has not always been the case in Turin.

According to tuttomercatoweb.com, United boss Louis van Gaal believes that the centre-back has all of the physical attributes to be a success in the Premier League and will make a move in January.

The powerful defender was born to Nigerian parents, who moved to Italy in 1983.
