Premier League giants Manchester United have not had much fortune lately as far as the transfer market is concerned. They have made significant improvements in their performance this season under new manager Erik Ten Hag, and it seems like they have a good possibility of a top-two finish in the league this season.
However, it seems like none of the top players want to join Manchester United currently. This is maybe because of the bad reputation they have accumulated over the past few years. After all, they are no longer the club that they once were, and we all know it.
The Latest Update On The Transfers That Involve Premier League Giants Manchester United
Erik Ten Hag is thus finding it very difficult to sign the players that he needs at Manchester United to play according to his system. He first wanted to sign Frenkie De Jong from FC Barcelona. But the Dutch midfielder was reluctant to make the move.
He then lost both Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo to Liverpool, and it is just frustrating at this point. However, it seems like United will finally be making a big move for a star player. And this might break their recent drought in the transfer market. We are talking about Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann.
Antoine Griezmann has seen a dip in his form ever since joining FC Barcelona. As a result, he made his return to the Wanda Metropolitana last season. Yet he is unable to find much game time at the club for several reasons. Interestingly, Griezmann plays much better for his national side. And we saw that this year in the 2022 World Cup as well.
As his contract will be expiring at the end of this season, Griezmann is a real option for the Red Devils. Getting his signatures will not be much of a difficulty as not many clubs are after him. However, if the 31-year-old can emulate his performances for the National Team with Manchester United as well, he will be a great addition to their already strong squad.
Manchester United are currently 3rd in the Premier League points table with 43 points from 22 matches. They currently hold a serious unbeaten streak and will seek to extend it further as they want to climb above their arch-rivals Manchester City.
Will The Deal Go Through And What Can This Mean For The Red Side Of Manchester!?
The deal will now be an interesting one, with the player possibly set to leave Madrid this summer. Though Manchester United has signed a lot of decent players in recent times, they need more. They are yet to reach their full-potential under Erik Ten Hag. This is something that the Dutchman will want from his team.
The side has improved and the Old Trafford faithful will be delighted so far. However, they would still know that there is a lot of work to be done. This is just the Dutchman’s first season and the standards need to be back to where they were, in the Sir Alex era.
Whether signing a player like Griezmann helps in making that possible or not, remains to be seen. He is 31 and in the Twilight of his career, which he will want to end on a high note. Though he could not lift the World Cup with France for a second time this year, his ambitions to win more titles will surely not fade away.
Whether Manchester United is the right club for not, remains to be seen. This is a choice that the player will have to make at the end of the current campaign.
