Newcastle United’s defence proved to be one of the success stories of their season last year, as Rafael Benitez managed to settle on a group of players.
Speed machine DeAndre Yedlin managed to cement his spot in the starting XI, but the mainstay needs to continue to be pushed moving forward.
The Magpies should consider adding another quality full-back to play as a right-sided defender and pit him against Yedlin at St James’ Park.
One man that should crop up on their radar is Manchester United monster Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who is renowned for his extreme pace and power.
Spanish outlet Marca reports that Valencia are hoping to try land a deal for the 20-year-old this summer and suspect that Man United are already considering potential replacements for him
Fosu-Mensah spent last season out on loan with Crystal Palace in the Premier League and impressed during his 24 appearances for the club.
Newcastle should go all out to try land his signature from Old Trafford and at his age he is only going to improve massively in the coming years.
He has three senior international caps for Holland already under his belt and has been considered one of the biggest rising stars at Man United in recent years.
The versatile ace, who can play in midfield or defence is required, would provide the perfect competition for Yedlin next season and help Newcastle towards building a squad that can consolidate their place back in the top flight.
