Manchester United are already thinking about next season. Indeed, from February we can already qualify this year as a failure (5th in PL and eliminated from the Cup) for the Red Devils who had nevertheless achieved an enticing summer transfer window on paper. Between the extension of Paul Pogba which drags on and which could never happen, the hatching which is slow to come from the now loaned Donny Van de Beek or the irregular performances of the Brazilian Fred, the leaders have identified the environment as a sector of play to be reinforced.
With this in mind, they had identified one of the Queen’s jewels, Declan Rice, estimated at €120m by his West Ham club. A sum that the Mancunians do not seem ready to spend. The name of Kalvin Phillips is also on United’s shortlist, but the Englishman is expected to extend his contract with Leeds and has even declared that he does not want to join Old Trafford because of competition between his training club and Manchester. The last name cited by The Daily Star is that of the Belgian from Leicester, Youri Tielemans, who is coming to the end of his contract in June 2023 and who would like to play in the Champions League. A sum of around €48m could convince the Foxes, according to the British tabloid.
