Despite the arrival of reinforcements like Ugarte, the Mancunian midfield remains a gray area. The Red Devils are now eyeing Germany.
Manchester United have had a disappointing start to the season, occupying 14th place in the Premier League with only 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats after seven days. However, the Red Devils have not been inactive on the transfer market, completing the arrival of five new recruits, including the most recent: Manuel Ugarte.
The Uruguayan defensive midfielder, transferred from Paris Saint-Germain for 40 million euros excluding bonus, had the mission of strengthening the Mancunian midfield. However, after five appearances in the MU jersey, Ugarte is struggling to convince, to the point that the leaders are already thinking of strengthening this sector again.
A German international on the shelves
According to Florian Plettenberg, journalist for Sky SportsUnited would be ready to set their sights on Leon Goretzka. For his part, the versatile Bayern Munich midfielder, who has only made three appearances and scored one goal this season, is little used by his coach Vincent Kompany.
The residents of Old Trafford would therefore consider taking advantage of his situation to convince Goretzka to join England, especially since his value is estimated at 22 million euros per
Transfer market. It remains to be seen whether the German international, under contract until 2026, could be tempted by a new challenge in the Premier League.
