"Manchester United are looking to strengthen what they view as something of a problem position in their squad after a poor recent injury record for the likes of Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez. Meanwhile, Leny Yoro hasn't been entirely convincing since joining Man Utd, and the ageing Harry Maguire is probably not likely to continue as a regular starter."
"According to Fichajes, this could lead United to moving for Murillo, while other big names such as Tottenham's Micky van de Ven and RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba are also on their list."
"Murillo has shone during his time at Nottingham Forest and it makes sense that a big move could soon be in store for the Brazilian. It's not been the easiest season for Forest, though they now look to be closing in on safety from relegation, while they also have one foot in the Europa League final."
Manchester United is pursuing Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo as one of three main defensive targets for the summer transfer window. The club seeks to strengthen defence following persistent injuries to Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez, while Leny Yoro has underperformed since arrival and Harry Maguire's age raises questions about his future role. Murillo, a 23-year-old Brazilian, has impressed at Forest and represents an opportunity for a higher-level move. Chelsea also shows interest in the defender. Other targets include Tottenham's Micky van de Ven and RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba. Murillo requires regular playing time and both United and Chelsea could provide that, though United appears more stable after recent difficulties.
