BREAKING: Primary reason for Alexander Isak’s visit to Manchester United’s medical facility Today, amidst speculation that the Swedish superstar has ultimately consented to a record-breaking agreement to join the Reds – Congratulations to Manchester United supporters.
Manchester United continues to seek opportunities in the January transfer window as Ruben Amorim endeavours to strengthen his underperforming squad and elevate them from mid-table standings.
United have experienced a challenging beginning under the former Sporting Lisbon manager when he succeeded Erik ten Hag in October, securing only five victories in his initial 13 matches. It has been extensively reported that he is seeking a new left-back and striker this month.
This month may witness several departures, as Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Casemiro are all rumoured to be leaving due to limited playing time under the Portuguese manager.
Garnacho receptive to a transfer to Napoli
Garnacho is undoubtedly one of the most promising talents to arise at Old Trafford in recent years; however, he is currently experiencing a suboptimal phase under Amorim, who has utilised him infrequently in recent weeks.
Garnacho is reportedly associated with a transfer to Napoli, who are poised to lose pivotal winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG this month.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte requires an adequate substitute for Kvaratskhelia and seems to have pinpointed Garnacho as the prospective candidate.
The Independent reports that Garnacho is eager to transfer to Serie A, and Manchester United is amenable to the sale as he constitutes pure profit from their academy, hence ensuring compliance with PSR regulations.
Negotiations have commenced, with a fee being suggested at approximately £40 million. United are reportedly requesting a fee of approximately £70 million, which coincides with the amount PSG is prepared to offer for Kvaratskhelia.
Striker conundrum as United is advised to acquire Isak
Manchester United have been associated with several forwards, including Viktor Gyokeres, a former player of Amorim. However, with the Swedish star currently deemed unavailable, the Red Devils may consider his international teammate, Alexander Isak.
Former United player Gary Pallister believes Amorim should pursue the prolific Newcastle striker, who has scored nine goals in his past six matches.
