Manchester United to hijack player in new power move

Manchester United is gearing up for another major move in the transfer market, aiming to hijack AC Milan’s deal to sign Youssouf Fofana from Monaco.

The Red Devils have already had a busy summer, securing striker Joshua Zirkzee and defender Leny Yoro, and are now targeting the French midfielder to further bolster their squad.

According to RMC, Fofana has agreed personal terms with the Serie A giants, but United’s interest could disrupt the deal. Get French Football News reports:

“The France international is indeed the subject of interest from both the Red Devils and the Rossoneri. However, the Principality side is not willing to entertain any offers below the €35m mark for the former Strasbourg man.”

United’s pursuit of Fofana aligns with their strategy to strengthen their midfield amidst uncertainties surrounding the futures of Casemiro and Scott McTominay. Casemiro has been linked with a move to the Saudi Professional League, while McTominay is attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League and across Europe, including the Turkish Super Lig.

As Manchester United looks to continue their impressive pre-season form, having recently won 2-0 against Rangers, the potential acquisition of Fofana could be a game-changer for Erik ten Hag’s side. With the transfer window heating up, all eyes are on Old Trafford to see if they can pull off this high-stakes hijack.
