According to FootballTransfers, Manchester United is now focusing on acquiring Ross Barkley from Luton Town and Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham in order to strengthen their squad depth.
The team is seeking to strengthen their midfield and defense and is expecting some important departures during the summer transfer window.
Barkley was transferred to Nice, owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, during the previous season. He scored four goals in 28 games for the team. This season, he has revitalized his career at the Hatters, making eight contributions in 25 Premier League appearances.
Manchester United considers Barkley to be a suitable and adaptable player, given his versatility and experience. Additionally, Adarabioyo has demonstrated exceptional performance while playing for Fulham.
Adarabioyo’s contract at Craven Cottage will expire in June, and it remains uncertain whether Barkley will renew his deal for one additional year at Luton. It is believed that acquiring the duo would be a low-risk investment.
Ratcliffe is willing to authorize a substantial investment in new players during the summer, prioritizing talents such as Jarrad Branthwaite and Michael Olise. However, it is considered that cost-effective possibilities like Barkley and Adarabioyo would also be beneficial.
As previously reported, the club is determined to pursue Branthwaite aggressively in preparation for the upcoming summer transfer window. However, Manchester City and Newcastle have also emerged as potential rivals for securing the contract of this talented English player.
According to sources, the Red Devils may face difficulties in acquiring the Everton defender, as Real Madrid is also interested. Additionally, both Man City and Newcastle have expressed admiration for the player. However, it is considered improbable that the centre-back will choose to transfer to St James’ Park.
