Manchester United are reportedly likely to be in the market for a ‘number 8’ signing in midfield in this summer’s transfer window.
This is according to a report from The Athletic, which looks at Man Utd’s plans to strengthen in a number of areas, including at centre-forward and right-back.
Interestingly, though, it seems that the Red Devils also want a player in the Bruno Fernandes or Christian Eriksen mould, so it suggests one of those big names could be replaced, or would at least have more competition for their place in Erik ten Hag’s starting line up.
No specific names are mentioned by the report, but it will be interesting to see who United could look at for that role, with some fans likely to think it’ll be hard to find an upgrade on an influential player like Fernandes.
Still, CaughtOffside columnist Ben Jacobs has previously exclusively revealed that United could be one to watch in the race to sign Youri Tielemans this summer, and he’d definitely be a good fit, and with the bonus of being available as a free agent.
MUFC fans will have their own ideas about who should come in, but most would also surely agree that a new main goal-scorer to build around has to be the club’s top priority.
Yes, he has become a liability
He’s not helping matters at all
Exactly I’m even better than this dude 😂😂😂
I’m better than this dude Swears 🌚🥴🥴
Sancho,not good enough,Antony wasted money no right foot,Bruno not playing well,Dalot never looks as good as Wan Bissaka,We need a goalscorer,if Rashford doesnt score we are in trouble,and we need Casemiro back,and Erickson as soon as possible.I would like to see Pellistre get more playing time,With Garnacho fit to play.
Sancho has not been the player United bought from Dortmund for as long as he has worn the Manchester red. Then again, this season he has not had a chance.
Firstly, he needs an attacking right wing back with him (similar to the Shaw / Rashford attack on the left).
Secondly, he needs a run of games.
Anthony has had a run of games but still has to show up. It may be the bedding in issue and the 2023 /24 season will be better; we can but hope.
