It’s another very complicated season for Manchester United. The Red Devils have already left the Champions League, and are rather poorly placed in the league, with this disappointing seventh place in the Premier League standings. Far from the expectations and objectives that such a club should have. And inevitably, as is often the case in these cases, there will be a lot of movement during the month of January, with departures, but also arrivals.
Concerning the first category of players, there has already been talk for months of the departure of Jadon Sancho, who has still not convinced. Similar scenario for Antony, who has been more talked about for his extra-sporting frescoes than for his performances. Anthony Martial is also leaving, while the Spanish press is talking about a possible return of Raphaël Varane to Real Madrid to cover David Alaba’s injury.
An XXL recruit
As for arrivals, it’s a little more vague. But The Sun reveals this Thursday information concerning the plans of the Red Devils which risks delighting… Luis Enrique. Indeed, the English media reports that Manchester United wish to enlist Takefusa Kubo. What does this have to do with PSG? Well the Japanese is the offensive leader and probably the best player of Real Sociedad, rival of Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The newspaper even goes so far as to indicate that the player, whose value would be 50 million euros, could be the subject of an exchange with Antony to lower the price of the operation. Author of 6 goals and 3 assists in 16 La Liga matches, Take Kubo would be a great recruit for the team coached by Erik ten Hag. And a huge loss for Imanol Alguacil, who would lose a major element in view of this duel in the round of 16 against PSG…
