A summer transfer for Monster Man United is required, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe must make a crucial decision.
It’s not surprise that transfer rumors are beginning to swamp internet gossip sections with little over a month left in the Premier League season.
One of the biggest rumors to break this week is that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United,’met’ super agent Jorge Mendes and ‘discussed’ the possibility of signing two of his clients, forward Rafael Leao of AC Milan and Joao Neves of Benfica, before the summer.
While Leao has been linked to a transfer to Old Trafford at different points in his career, United has been widely connected to signing Neves in recent months. The Portuguese tabloid Record reports that this summer, United intends to recruit “two blockbuster players.”
Of course, the impending transfer window will represent a significant turning point in United’s history. Ineos currently oversees all football-related activities at the club after Ratcliffe’s investment in February, and recruiting will be crucial to their efforts to advance the team.
New connections between United and Leao, however, are a little more challenging to accept. Despite just being 24 years old, the incredibly versatile forward from Portugal has been around for a while and would most likely fetch a price well over £100 million in the present market.
Leao is a natural winger, therefore this summer, United is not expected to prioritize adding a winger, even though there is still uncertainty over Marcus Rashford’s future. Rather, United must make an attempt.
Due to Kobbie Mainoo’s growth, he is nearly a lock to start in United’s strongest midfield the next season, and Bruno Fernandes is unlikely to lose his starting position anytime soon. It implies that the stage is set for United to sign a new defensive-midfield player to enhance the skills of Mainoo and Fernandes. This player should be able to bring discipline and a significant element of control.
Neves, who turns 20 in November, has been often linked to a move to M16 in recent months. According to rumors originating from Portugal, United has selected Neves as their “top target” in order to bolster their midfield. He has established himself as a vital member of Benfica’s squad despite his advanced age, recording 50 appearances across all competitions this season.
First and foremost, Benfica
