In the next transfer window, Manchester United might have to try to add a winger to the Old Trafford roster.
After a challenging start to the season, Erik ten Hag might have some concerns about it.
Manchester United transfer news – Latest
During the summer, United brought in Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, Sofyan Amrabat, and Mason Mount to address a number of difficulties. The Red Devils decided against making a winger or defense acquisition, with the exception of the free arrival of seasoned center-back Jonny Evans, who has perhaps played more than anticipated this season. Erik ten Hag was obliged to use young players like Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Pellistri due to his lack of availability in the attacking role.
Due to accusations leveled against him, Brazilian winger Antony was taken out of first-team practice earlier this month. However, Manchester United has now formally announced that Antony will rejoin the team and is once again available for selection.
Jadon Sancho is another player that isn’t available for selection right now. Ten Hag disclosed earlier this month that Sancho’s inadequate training output was the reason he was left off the squad to play Arsenal in the Premier League. In a since-deleted social media post, Sancho retaliated, implying that his dismissal from the team had other motives. Even more, journalist Jones told GIVEMESPORT that Sancho’s chances of preserving his career at Old Trafford are slim.
It’s unreasonable to expect Erik ten Hag to convince £82m duo to join Man Utd
United now has a great possibility of trying to sign a new winger during the summer transfer window. Even after joining the first team again, Antony hasn’t exactly taken the Manchester world by storm. Given the uncertainty around Sancho’s future at the team, it will be intriguing to watch how ten Hag responds in the transfer market.
First off, given that a meeting to discuss extending Federicho Chiesa’s contract with the Serie A club is scheduled for next month, Jones has implied that a move for the Juventus winger appears improbable.
Jones has also talked about the possibility that Serge Gnabry, a winger for Bayern Munich, will sign with the Red Devils. The journalist asserts that there is no chance of the German winger moving to Old Trafford since he is too valuable for the Bundesliga team to consider selling.
Man Utd could target £82m alternative to Gnabry and Chiesa
Ten Hag could not be able to afford Chiesa and Gnabry, who are estimated by Transfermarkt to be worth a combined £82 million. The winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Napoli is one player that United is reportedly fond in, according to MailOnline. It has been stated by Italian newspapers that Newcastle United made an £82 million approach to sign him during the summer transfer window.
A new winger might be United’s top priority given the choices available to them when Antony and Sancho aren’t, especially on the right side.
