According to Sky Sports, [team 68] have placed a 120 million Euros price tag on [player 538034]. [team 14] ’s current finances are making this deal unlikely. Sky Sports have also reported that United are considering an improved bid for the English youngster.
However, the Red Devils have started to look at possible alternatives with [team 83]’s [player 32403] being one of them. [team 503] ’s [player 32659] is also very much in the mix as the Frenchman’s game time will be reduced with [player 4783]’s arrival. [team 625]’s [player 32352] is another option, but the Brazilian will be a short-term fix. Other names have been [player 96088] and [team 25]’s [player 96722]. Recently, [team 3468]’s [player 161284] has also been mentioned, but his position is a different one.
Ousmane Dembele
Dembele moved to Barcelona in 2017 following [player 186320]’s departure to [team 591]. The 23-year-old came as a club-record transfer for a value of €105m. His arrival saw tremendous expectations and a lot of excitement. However, his time with the Catalan giants has so far been a nightmare. In those 3 seasons, the Frenchman has missed 75 games across all competitions through various injuries.
The 2018/19 season was the only part when he came into life with Barcelona. Dembele made 29 appearances in [league 564] and scored 8 goals. He also assisted 5 goals in the same season. His time at Dortmund was fantastic, but for some reason, he never excelled in [country 32]. The new head coach [coach 455372] is reportedly keeping the door open for Dembele’s exit to create space for [player 929]’s arrival from [team 79]. A fresh start might be something that gets him going elsewhere.
Manchester United will struggle to get Sancho this summer, and they will get Dembele for half of the price. According to AS, the valuation will be between 50 and 60 million euros which is easily affordable for United. With the club in desperate need of a recognized wide player, Dembele might be a risk worth taking.
David Neres
Another 23-year-old who could be an excellent solution to Manchester United’s issues. [player 27133] was a part of that unbelievable [team 629] side which reached the semi-finals of the [league 2] in 2019. [coach 455375] wanted him at United in his time as the manager after seeing his display against United in the [legue 5] final of 2017.
Last season, it wasn’t the best season for Neres as it was filled with injury issues. However, the season before last was where he genuinely excelled. In the 2018/19 season, he scored 8 goals and provided 8 assists in 29 [league 72] appearances. He is capable of creating chances consistently through wide areas, especially from the right side. Neres also adds a few goals and is the type of winger United require.
Manchester United could get the Brazilian for half price to Jadon Sancho. This could prove to be potentially an excellent piece of business considering the high potential that Neres possesses.
