Here we will discuss 3 players that Manchester United must sign.
Matthijs de Ligt (CB,Bayern Munich)
It seems a long long time ago when de Ligt was considered the best up and coming center back in the European game.In 2018 he won the golden boy award and next season at the age of just 19 he was the leader of the young Ajax team that won a domestic double and reached UEFA Champions League semi finals.
This early success earned him a well deserved move to Italian powerhouse Juventus in a deal worth 72.4 million pounds.But things didn’t work out according to De Ligt’s plans and he could not cement his place in the Juve defense due to various injury and form issues.Juventus cut their losses and sold De Ligt to Bayern Munich in 2022.It was same old story for the Dutchman with the German giants.
Now the Dutchman is looking for a fresh challenge and Manchester United are in the market for quality defenders.De ligt could prove to be a game-changing addition to Erik Ten Hag’s red devils.He played his best football under the current United manager at Ajax.This reunion could prove to be an ideal fit for De Ligt and United.At 25 De Ligt is heading towards peak years and time is pretty much on his side to prove his doubters wrong.He has the potential to become the best center back in the world and United could benefit from De Ligt’s enormous talent.
Victor Osimhen (CF,Napoli)
The Nigerian wizard Victor Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world.He has the pace, strength and skill to bully the very best defenders in the world.Victor has done wonders for Napoli since he joined the club in 2020.In 22/23 season,Osimhen was the league top scorer with 26 strikes and played the leading role in Napoli’s first Serie A title triumph in 33 years .Osimhen was the top scorer in the league with 26 goals.
For last couple of years the former Wolfsburg hitman has been linked with multiple clubs.There is nothing different this transfer window as well.Many top clubs are vying for his signature.
If Manchester United have the ambition to compete with the very best in the business,the club must do everything possible to convince the Nigerian to ply his trade at Old Trafford. Although only last season they paid hefty sum to sign Rasmus Hojlund but the kid is too young and inexperience to score 20 plus goals for the organization of Manchester United’s stature.
Osimhen is a big game player and he has proved on many occasions that he can handle the pressure in the biggest of the games.
Noussair Mazraoui (RB, Bayern Munich)
Right back has been a problem position for United for quite some time now.Erik Ten Hag has two right backs at his disposal; Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot.The former provides very little in terms of attacking output and the latter can’t defend.
Bayern Munich full back Noussair Mazraoui is one of the better options available in the market.The Moroccan made his name at Ajax and the moved to the Bavarian club in summer 2022.But the move hasn’t been a successful one for the 26 years old.
A move to Manchester United just may be the tonic to revitalize his career at the top level. Mazaroui can play on the both sides of the pitch and is the archetype modern full back who likes to go forward and create chances for his team mates. Manchester United must pounce on the opportunity to sign the Moroccan.He could prove to be an asset for the red devils.
