Man Utd Decides on January Move for Premier League Midfielder, Snubs Two Targets
Manchester United is reportedly considering a strategic move for Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes. The 24-year-old Brazilian, who is an essential player for Wolves, may be open to leaving Molineux this winter. His current club is struggling, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table with a daunting 17-point deficit to safety.
United’s Midfield Plans
While Manchester United is looking to enhance its squad, sources indicate they might delay an immediate midfield signing. Recently, dealings for other midfielders, including Wilfried Ndidi and Ruben Neves, have been discussed. However, it appears United will reserve their funds for a more significant investment at the end of the season.
Key Midfield Targets for Summer
Manchester United aims to secure formidable midfield options in the upcoming summer transfer window. Their current shortlist includes:
- Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest)
- Carlos Baleba (Brighton)
- Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
Despite their interest, acquiring any of these players in January has proven challenging. For the remainder of the season, United will rely on existing midfielders, including Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro, who is set to leave after this season.
Impact of Michael Carrick
Michael Carrick’s appointment has revitalized United’s hopes for a successful season. He believes in his current squad’s potential to secure Champions League qualification. This achievement would significantly boost United’s transfer budget, enabling them to pursue their summer targets more aggressively.
Additional Developments
In other news, the situation at Marseille is causing concern for United. Reports suggest that manager Roberto De Zerbi is on the brink of being sacked after a disappointing Champions League exit. United has shown interest in De Zerbi, who could be a potential managerial candidate if the position becomes available.
Another note of interest is regarding loanee Rasmus Hojlund. United is optimistic about his permanent transfer to Napoli, contingent upon the club qualifying for next season’s Champions League. Despite uncertainties, sources from United remain calm regarding his situation.
