Manchester United closer to major transfer after developments in last few hours

Posted by

Manchester United reportedly look to have made progress on agreeing a transfer for Adrien Rabiot in the last few hours.

The France international looks set to be allowed to leave Juventus for Man Utd, and it seems discussions between the player and Erik ten Hag have pushed things closer to completion today, according to Italian sources Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport, as translated and cited by Sport Witness.

Rabiot has had a fine career, winning major honours with both Juventus and former club Paris Saint-Germain, though it’s fair to say he’s also a fairly limited player that might not excite too many Red Devils fans.

“Certainly the player is attracted to the Premier League and has the same agency as Erik ten Hag” – Fabrizio Romano’s exclusive on this Man United target

Adrien Rabiot to Manchester United?

It’s clear that this season is going to be a huge challenge for new United manager Ten Hag, and it’s surely going to take more than Rabiot to help turn things around for the club’s midfield.

In fairness, Rabiot probably is an upgrade on Fred and Scott McTominay, but fans will feel that a bit more ambition could have seen them go for one of the best in the world in that position.

Rabiot certainly doesn’t fit that category, but it seems this deal is now edging closer to completion, whether fans like it or not.

  1. We need somebody who can conclude a transfer deal before he leaves the negotiating table on day one.

    1. So, who replaces Ronaldo? He scored 24 goals last season. Who is gonna do that if he leaves? get a brain mate! Also Ruben Neves would be far too expesive for United. Another thing, that transfers of his quality take forever when United negotiate.

  2. Frankie will be the best for man.united, there is no
    better mid-field player in the world.man.united need
    at least 5 new players. 2 backs, 2 mid-field and 1 centre forward. hopefully they succeed in december/january transfer market.

  3. Like Fegerson era, man u should learn to buy quality super stars than buying to fulfill all righteousness spend funds on players that cannot provide the needed talent to produce results. This was the case with Liverpool and mancity during their reformation stage, they sold all wantaway players and bought the needed stars that suits their style of play.see what they are today just like the man u of old. Until we do that again it will be defficult for man u to progress

  4. Man utd should sale rashfod and always Ronaldo to go and maguria to be sale he is a confuse player he always causing goals in man utd let he go

    1. Yes. manu should sell all fake red davils en buy new real davil, thats wen we shall win trophies again. thx

  5. My opinion we need a professional finisher, he may not be first class but atalent young player (Benjamin B)
    We need a holding midfielder plus rightback.

  6. Atleast if man utd can not afford buy the likes of gakpo, morata & sarr then let them go jaiver chicharto hernandez since he said he’s ready to play for man utd for free. Secondly i don’t just know why man utd are looking for expensive signing it has been a three months now since they started chasing for frienke de jong moreover he does’nt want to play for them right now just because champions league football likewise ronaldo wants to leave old trafford for him to play for the club tha can offer him champions league some they should let go of him so that they count on likes of pellitrs, ahmad, granercho, james ganner, zinden & so on.

  7. utd should keep Ronaldo 4 one more season, I think we still need him 4 now, they should look for another mid field option since de jong is not interested in signing for united, also another attacking forward should be signed be4 the transfer window close

  8. I got worried when i saw the way brighton was just passing the ball through our midfield.
    Man u should buy players like sergej who will atleast protect our defence.
    Without that, no way for man u.

  9. We need a striker now cr7 is no longer interested in playing just because of champion league football ⚽ it so unfair
    and we need a holding midfielder and attacking player
    God help us United fans
