MANCHESTER UNITED ON COURSE TO COMPLETE ONE FINAL SIGNING . SOLSKJAER DOUBTFUL OF COMPLETING ALL THREE ANTICIPATED TRANSFERS
Harry Mcguire, Bruno Fernandes, and Mauro Icardi seem to be the trifecta of demands for Manchester United this summer. The English giants have embarked on a committed project to rejuvenate their football club in the summer of 2019 in preparation to launch a far more convincing and optimistically successful challenge for the 2019/20 Premier League and UEFA Champions League trophy challenge.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer has so far made two significant signings in 19-year-old Daniel James from Swansea City and the signing of 26-year-old Aaron Wan Bissaka from English side Crystal Palace. With a significant part of the summer transfer budget already invested in the acquisition of both Aaron Wan Bissaka and the resigning of three Manchester United players in David De Gea, Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford, Manchester United now appear ready to invest the last part of the clubs summer transfer budget on capturing the clubs final signing of the summer. The big question now is who will Manchester United's last major signing of the summer be?
All through two weeks back in the current month of July, some signs suggested the Red Devils were ready to move away from the pursuit of the clubs long-running interest In players such as Harry McGuire and Bruno Fernandes with the idea of turning their sights back to the pursuit of two players in Koudiso Koulibaly and a new target in young Stoke City defender Nathan Collins. The news on Manchester United's pursuit of Italian club Napoli’s defender Koudiso Koulibali will come as a surprise to the majority of sports fans everywhere. Back in 2017/18, Manchester United held the pole position in the list of clubs ready to land the Senegalese defender. In 2017/18 Manchester United had prepared a transfer offer worth the reported sum of 103 million (91 million) but Manchester United saw their determination to sign the 28-year-old Napoli center back weakened when Napoli turned down Manchester United's massive offer. Manchester United have since attempted to move to other center back options with the clubs search for a center back taking Manchester United all the way from Milan, Italy to Real Madrid, Spain to make inquiries on the availability of center backs such as Milan Skriniar and Raphael Varane of Real Marid.
Throughout all the search and inquiry Manchester United have made about available center backs during the course of the summer transfer window, the Red Devils have continuously encountered stumbling blocks stopping Manchester United from securing their defensive target and for a while it seemed Manchester United will be unable to fill the void of a dominating defender such as Nemanja Vidic or Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United fans have continued to make their voices heard all over social media by requesting the club persevere in their efforts to land a substantial center-back this summer. Up until the current month of July, the club appeared to be stuck in their search for the right center back to take that dominating, leadership, role at defensive end for Manchester United come start of next season. However, the newest reports suggest Manchester United might have found their man in 26-year-old English center-back Harry McGuire from English side Leicester City. While little rumours continue to stick around to suggest that Manchester United might still lose the opportunity to sign the English center after English champions Manchester City had made their intentions clear on signing Harry McGuire earlier on in the summer, Manchester United still currently hold the best chance of signing Harry Mcguire by the transfer deadline on September 2019.
The central point covering Manchester United's deal with English side Leicester City for defender Harry McGuire appeared to be that Manchester United made their intentions clear during June that Harry McGuire is the defender that Manchester United wants to see next season as one of their two-man center backs. However, with the deal ultimately already concluded after both sides came to a verbal agreement indicating that Manchester United can have the English defender for the price of 80 million. The deal between Manchester United and Leicester City for Harry McGuire really should have been completed as early as June because this was a deal Manchester United had alerted Leicester City of Manchester United's interest in finalizing the deal as early as possible. During the month of may, Manchester United was expected to close out the deal for Harry McGuire with the defender thought to have made time before Englands recent UEFA league match the one which Harry McGuire secured a starting XI against Swisserland. Manchester United had reportedly had a meeting with Harry McGuire and his agent with various news articles reporting that both Manchester United and Harry McGuire had struck an agreement for the Leicester City man to move to Old Trafford by the end of the current Transfer window.
The summer transfer window has so far proven to be a very turbulent one for Manchester United but the club is reportedly expected to come out of the summer with two more signings come transfer deadline day. So far, all signs point to Harry McGuire and Bruno Fernandes being the last signings of the summer. Manchester United appear to have made strides in contacting both players agents, club sides once again for July and signs suggests might be a matter of time before both players complete their moves to Manchester United.
