Manchester United continue to be linked with a move for Atletico Madrid and Portugal forward Joao Felix.
Manchester United is ahead of Arsenal in the fight to sign Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix in January, according to Marca, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.
According to the source, United are in a strong position to sign Felix before the Gunners, who are currently in first place in the Premier League following a strong start to the season.
In a game that included three red cards, Felix scored yesterday night as Atletico Madrid defeated Elche 2-0.
Erik ten Hag has stated that he will focus on loan signings due to the club’s limited resources, but it has also been suggested that United will not pay the loan fee necessary to bring Felix to Old Trafford in the middle of the season, despite the fact that this is a move that could improve our chances of finishing in the top four.
The Daily Mail published a story earlier this week regarding Arsenal contacting Felix. Given that Mikel Arteta’s team lost Gabriel Jesus to injury prior to the World Cup, this might be a wise acquisition.
United, however, is in dire need of a center-forward, and I’m not sure Felix fits the bill for the type of player Ten Hag is looking to add to his team.
