OFFICIAL NOW: Man United confirmed the signing of Vinicius jnr on a 5yr, jersey number picked – announcement tomorrow morning
Manchester United wanted to hire the services Vinicius Jr. in 2017 but Real Madrid ended up hiring his services.
If reports in the media are anything to go by then the Red Devils are prepared to break the bank and offer around £129m to finally secure the Brazilian international.
According to Defensa Central (via Sport), the Los Blancos consider Vinicius non-transferable but to lure Kylian Mbappe, they may have to offload the Samba star.
The news source have mentioned that Man Utd are prepared to agree a fee of £129m (150 million euros) to sign the South American, who is one of the best attackers in the world.
At the age of 23, Vini has already won every major title with Real Madrid and two years ago, he scored the winning goal in the final of the UEFA Champions League against Liverpool in Paris.
In the current campaign, so far, in 16 appearances in all competitions, the £342,000 a week Brazilian has netted 9 goals and provided 4 assists under the management of Italian boss, Carlo Ancelotti.
Mbappe is mainly a left winger and the position at the Bernabeu is occupied by Vinicius. On the other hand, at Old Trafford, Rashford is the main LW, who netted 30 goals in all competitions last term.
However, this season, the England international has been out of form and in all fairness, there is no one good enough to cover for him.
We allowed Greenwood to leave in the summer and this month, Ten Hag has opted to loan out Sancho. So, United clearly lack quality and depth in the wide offensive positions.
In your view, should Man Utd offer £129m to sign Vinicius? Would he join us without CL football like Casemiro?
