HERE WE GO: Man United agree transfer fee to sign a perfect Kobbie Mainoo partner who has 25-assists last season- Club statement is ready and squad number is confirmed
While rumours of a move for 29-year-old Raheem Sterling may suggest otherwise, there has been a noticeable change in tact in the transfer market under the new INEOS regime at Manchester United, with youthful signings having been the name of the game.
To illustrate that point, four of United’s five new additions – including impending arrival Manuel Ugarte – are all 25 or younger, with the only outlier that of the ‘veteran’ Noussair Mazraoui, who is 26.
The capture of Leny Yoro, in particular, appears to illustrate the new direction with which Dan Ashworth and co wish to take, with the Red Devils fending off interest from Real Madrid to land the 18-year-old sensation.
Such a deal could be followed by another transfer coup before too long, with the Old Trafford side set to battle it out to land another exciting, up-and-coming talent…
Man Utd transfer news
As reported by Fussball News, United remain in the mix for the signing of Rosenborg wonderkid, Sverre Nypan, albeit with rivals Arsenal having also entered the race for the 17-year-old’s signature.
The indication is that the Gunners are looking to acquire the ‘next Martin Odegaard’ ahead of the January transfer window, although it would appear that it is the Red Devils who hold the advantage, with the teenager and his family huge fans of the Manchester side.
The Norwegian – who idolises Cristiano Ronaldo – has previously outlined that it would be his dream to make the move to Old Trafford, with it now up to Ashworth and co to make that a reality.
