Manchester United may regret missed opportunity as Fabrizio Romano confirms £30 million bargain close to Premier League rivals.
After signing four players in this transfer window so far, Manchester United’s rest of the time in the market will be focused on wheeling and dealing.
In the Profit and Sustainability Rules era, making opportunistic deals is the name of the game, and Manchester United have done so in this window, landing one of the biggest bargains in the Premier League in Noussair Mazraoui.
Add Matthijs de Ligt’s deal and how it’s aging in context to Newcastle’s mad chase for Marc Guehi, and there’s not much to complain about United’s transfer business.
That is the presumed shopping list for Manchester United squad additions right now but it’s ironic that despite signing four players, United started their Premier League campaign with a player playing out of position.
It was a continuation of last season for the left-back position as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia remain absent due to injuries.
Diogo Dalot did an admirable job while Mazraoui is also comfortable playing there but to not have any natural left-backs available in a system that demands so much from its fullbacks is questionable.
Just like De Ligt and Mazraoui, United had a £30 million golden opportunity fall right into their laps that they seem to have fallen short of pouncing upon.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Fenerbahce player Ferdi Kadioglu has reached personal agreement on terms with Brighton and it’s just a matter of waiting for clubs to agree on a transfer fee.
