Regarding Manchester United’s Signing of a Midfielder in January
“They like João Gomes. There may only be two players on Manchester United’s transfer list who are certain, and I think they will definitely join in January, or there is a possibility of joining. The first is obviously Conor Gallagher.”
“And then there’s João Gomes. I won’t say he is available for transfer, and I want to make that clear here, but I will say that interested teams may be inspired to take a chance based on the January league table.”
Regarding Rumors Linking Ruben Neves
“I think Ruben Neves’ current situation is more unpredictable, because he seems intent on extending his stay in Saudi Arabia, and many sources believe he will follow in Sergej Milinković-Savić’s footsteps and commit his future to Saudi Arabia.”
Is Manchester United Interested in Marc Guehi?
“I think it will be in the summer. So it feels like, by January, Marc Guehi could naturally be available for transfer because Crystal Palace can get a transfer fee, but there are many variables. There’s nothing to get excited about now. Yes, Manchester United likes him. Yes, they see his value, but I don’t think they will bid for Marc Guehi in January. Then, in the free agent market, if Guehi does end up there, I think it will be a bit like Liam Delap—they have to be able to offer Guehi a regular starting spot and a chance to play in the Champions League.”
Is Romeo Lavia Still Manchester United’s Top Target This Summer?
“What I mean is, there is no top target because they want two midfielders.”
“Two elite players with the potential to be starting midfielders may be added to or removed from the transfer list. If we only look at the summer transfer list, I think Romeo Lavia is among the top of their considerations, but it still may depend on the price. We know—and this is good news for Manchester United fans—if Manchester United reaches an agreement with Brighton, Romeo Lavia himself wants to join Manchester United. Personally, it would be very surprising if both clubs (one being Manchester United and the other being another top club) reach an agreement with Brighton on the transfer fee. I don’t think Lavia is likely to choose another club over Manchester United.”
Other Midfield Targets“In addition to Romeo Lavia, Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller is also among the top of Manchester United’s considerations, on par with Lavia, and has the support and appreciation of Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell.”
Regarding Rumors Linking Eduardo Camavinga to Manchester United
“Eduardo Camavinga has always stated that he is happy at Real Madrid. We have heard some speculation before, and many people feel that a player of his type, in terms of style, may join Manchester United, and then Casemiro would leave because the two have similar styles—that’s a fair point. Manchester United may also be interested in a midfielder of his type. However, Real Madrid has always insisted that they do not intend to sell Camavinga even if the offer reaches €100 million.”
Regarding Manchester United’s Loan Plans for Players This Season
“The 18-year-old Amad Diallo is currently on loan at Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, while 22-year-old goalkeeper Matej Kovar is on loan at Bristol City in the same division. Manchester United believes that players loaned to the Championship have a real chance to break into the first-team squad. Left-back Amad made his Manchester United debut against Leicester City in March and has started all 11 games since joining Sheffield Wednesday on deadline day.”
“Goalkeeper Matej Kovar has started all 15 of Bristol City’s games and is joint-third in the clean sheet table. Kovar is yet to make his Manchester United debut but put in an impressive performance in a pre-season friendly against Norwegian side Rosenborg last year.”
