Manchester United is expected to have a window of intense transfers ahead of the new Premier League season. Despite finishing third behind Liverpool and Manchester City, there is a significant gap between the Red Devils and the top two that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will try to bridge in the transfer window.
Here are the latest updates on Manchester United’s details for next season:
Barcelona are interested in Manchester United right back Diogo Dalot
Barcelona are interested in signing Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot, according to ESPN. The 21-year-old has just starred as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka favored in the role of right-back.
The Portuguese right back, who was signed by the former manager Jose Mourinho, will undoubtedly look for new pastures, with difficulty playing at Old Trafford. Barcelona’s interest is curious, but the ex-Benfica’s wide playing style could adapt to the Blaugrana, with Nelson Semedo considered a more defensive option.
Manchester United has advised to sign Jan Vertonghen
Central defender Jan Vertonghen played his last game for Tottenham Hotspur last week, and his former teammate Jermaine Jenas thinks the 33-year-old will be a perfect signature for Manchester United. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Jenas said:
“I continue to solicit him everywhere, but I’m sorry, Jan Vertonghen in free is the best free transfer center of the half.”
Manchester United have the most clean sheets in all competitions across Europe, so the suggestion that the Red Devils are “miles away” is certainly an overstatement. However, there are hints that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is on the market for a central defender, with the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Nathan Ake and Gabriel Magalhaes all connected with a move to Old Trafford.
Manchester United will decide the future of James Garner’s Old Trafford
Manchester United midfielder James Garner drew a lot of attention from the Welsh teams Cardiff City and Swansea City. The nineteen-year-old has struggled for game time in the main competitions this season, but has appeared in the Europa League and League Cup.
Garner is highly regarded among the young graduates of Old Trafford, with Manchester United willing to let the midfielder move on loan to gain more experience. Garner captained the England U-17 team that reached the semifinal of the European Championships in 2018.
Manchester United could sign Joshua King after a failed move in January
Manchester United could sign the former product of the youth team Joshua King this summer after Bournemouth suffered a relegation from the Premier League.
The Norwegian center forward, who was close to joining Old Trafford in January, could return his dream to Manchester United under his former reserve team coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The 28-year-old shares agents with the Red Devils manager, which could help his move if the Red Devils return for his signature. In January, King spoke fondly of his time at Old Trafford:
“I was sure it would happen. And it was a little sensitive for me, considering I moved to England as a sixteen year old to make my dream come true and I wanted to achieve that goal at Manchester United.”
