Manchester United Transfer News: This season Erik Ten Hag signed Mason Mount for the midfield. However, the trio of Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, and Casemiro hasn’t worked very well for the Red Devils.
In the opening two games of the season, they struggled in the midfield. Both Wolverhampton and Tottenham Hotspur managed to carve them through the midfield. Thus it is no secret that the Red Devils are desperate for enforcement in the midfield.
According to a report by 90min, Manchester United have a chance to sign Marco Verratti. The Paris Saint Germain midfielder primarily plays as a defensive midfielder. He is now 30 years now and he is in his peak form.
It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils take the chance to sign the Italian. Jamie Carragher had previously warned them that Casemiro was a panic signing. It looks like they are in a similar situation.
Manchester United Transfer News: Marco Verratti to Manchester United
The Italian midfielder was close to signing for the Saudi league. He even agreed personal terms with Al Hilal. However, Al Hilal was not willing to pay £ 51 million for the Italian. Thus, the move didn’t go through.
While Verratti will be hoping to sign for Al Ahli in the coming days. The Saudi club believes they can bring the 30 years to the Saudi League. Thus Marco Verratti to Manchester United might not happen. But the report from 90 min states that Verrati is also open to a move across Europe as well.
The Manchester United Transfer News also states that Bayern Munich have also been offered the chance to sign the Italian. The Bavarians are also looking to sign a new midfielder for the season. It remains to be seen whether Bayern will make a move for him or not.
Current Bayern Munich managers Thoms Tuchel and Marco Verratti worked together at PSG as well. It is not clear whether due to their past working relationship, Tuchel would want Verrati at Allianz Arena. Thus for Marco Verrati to Manchester United to happen, Bayern Munich might have to veto Tuchel’s potential move for Verratti.
Marco Verratti to Manchester United: Sofyan Amrabat alternative?
The Red Devils are keen to sign another midfielder before the transfer window closes. The recent Manchester United Transfer News has linked Sofyan Amrabat to Old Trafford. It is believed that the player is keen on the move as well.
However, there has been very little movement in the transfer saga. There has hardly been any Manchester United Transfer News indicating progress in the deal. Also, with just a few days remaining in the transfer window, it is high time for Red Devils to show urgency.
On the other hand, Marco Verratti’s to Manchester United will potentially mean no move for Amrabat. However, in the long term, it might not be a very good idea. Marco Verratti’s to Manchester United might result in a similar situation to Casemiro’s.
The Italian is also 30 years and he has just four years of his peak football left in him. Paris Saint Germain will demand a huge fee to sell him. Also, he has spent the majority of his career in a comfort zone in Ligue 1 with PSG. Thus adjusting to the pace of the Premier League might be a tough task for him.
