MANCHESTER UNITED'S 2021 SUMMER TRANSFER TALK - WHAT'S EXPECTED TO HAPPEN AT OLD TRAFFORD
Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varan. At the moment these are the two main names the Manchester United are strongly linked to sign by the end of the 2021 summer transfer window.
If you get that feeling that the name Paul Torres is a name that you've just recently heard from somewhere, then your feelings are absolutely correct. Pau Tores is the 24-year-old Spanish defender whose current club side Villarreal has crowned champions of this season's UEFA Europa League competition.
Ironic right? Spanish outfitters Villarreal proved they have finally made it to the pantheons of champions where they belong by beating Manchester United to become this season’s 2021 Europa league champion with defender Pau Torres leading Villareal's backline quite impressively and making Manchester United get a first-hand look at why does Spanish defender is a player that is in high demand during this 2021 summer transfer window.
Despite what transpired during the 2021 UEFA Europa League final which saw Manchester United concede the Europa League crown to Villarreal, one small bright aspect which Manchester United can take away from the final was that the club got to see first-hand what Pau Torres was all about. After the rock-solid display put in by Paul Torres during the 2021 UEFA Europa League final, fair to say that the Spanish defender proved that Manchester united certainly pick do right candidate to sign as the Red Devils have continued dear pursuit for the signature of the Villareal defender.
However, while Pau Torres will be an excellent defender to acquire should Manchester united move on to successfully secure the Spanish defenders signature this summer, there is a bit of reliable information around the club that suggests Paul Torres is not the only center back the Red Devils are monitoring with the intent of possibly signing in this 2021 summer transfer window. With that being said, let's take a look at what's making headways for Manchester United in regards to center backs.
First up let's start out by saying that the demand by the Manchester United fan base for a new Center Back should be taken seriously and the demand by the Manchester United fan base for a new center-back by any fanbase- in this case, the mentor Steiner that fanbase- should never be regarded as a situation where the fan base is just being a spoiled bunch of people who have been treated so good in the past few decades and now the fan base is creating a mounting out of a mow hill just to get attention.
That Is simply not the case. Let’s make one point clear, Manchester United has been in this long situation where they've been without serious success for over two decades. yes, a lot has been said and this is a transitional piece for Manchester United and the club will return to winning ways once the transition is over. Well, the transition has been going on for over 5 years now at the very least. That’s five years of which Manchester United has failed to win any major trophy.
Yes, Manchester United indeed has one at least once Europa League but that was four years ago. Manchester United hasn’t won a major trophy in four years. That’s a big issue for a club that is regarded as one of the biggest and best clubs in the world and while club manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer continues to promote the idea and the current United squad is strong enough to be successful on its own, recent indicators suggest that that's not the case particularly in the central defensive midfield position and the Centre back position.
Improvements certainly need to be done to these positions over the course are the 2021 someone transfer window if Manchester United is to reclaim their spot as Premier League champions and as champions in the UEFA Champions League competition next season. With that being said, let's take a look at the recent information making headways in regards to what business Manchester United is attempting to complete this 2021 Summer Transfer Window.
Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varan, and Pau Torres appear to be the two main priorities Manchester United I focused on this summer. Of cause, there have not been any specific names revealed in terms of who the central defensive midfielder will be so far.
However, the information making its way to the Manchester United Channel website suggests that the Red Devils have given up on their pursuit of English midfielder Declan rice as the player signed before the 2021 summer transfer window to occupy that central defensive midfield position for Manchester United next season. Instead, the new information received here at Manchester United Channel is that Manchester United is prepared to switch their focus in acquiring Wolverhampton's Ruben Nevers for a less expensive fee with Ruben Nevers being a player who is well suited to upgrade in the central defensive midfield position for Manchester United next season.
Manchester United has not made any official bid for either of these players yet. In contrast, what the Manchester United channel understands is that the Red Devils are open and willing to do deals to bring in players such as Rafael Varan, Pau Torres, Jadon Sancho, and Reuben Neves to boost up the Manchester United squad which manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer will be heading into next season with. Of course, with Paul Pogba still intent on leaving the club this summer, the hope next season is that Donny Van De Beak will take over the mantle of being the creative option behind Bruno Fernandez for Manchester United next season.
But the big question yet to be addressed is will Donny van de Beak be at Manchester United next season?
With Ole Gunner Solskjaer already proven that he does not trust the Dutch midfielder to take control of the midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United might be forced to sign a direct placement for Paul Pogba which could be a difficult text to accomplish given how difficult it is to find a creative midfielder whom can impact the game from dig deep midfield role with the same level of quality as Paul Pogba.
Lastly, Manchester United might be forced to turn their attention to Eduardo Camavinga as a source of replacement for Paul Pogba. However, with Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-German, and Chelsea already making early moves to acquire the services of young Eduardo Camavinga, Manchester United might have far bigger problems than some already anticipated in regards to finding a replacement for Paul Pogba this 2021 summer transfer window.
From the look of the current situation at Manchester United, the best course of action for the Red Devils in search of building a team that can compete again the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-German and Juventus in both the Premier League and the UEFA champions league competition next season, Manchester United must endeavor to emerge from the 2021 summer transfer window not just with the accomplishment of acquiring Jadon Sancho, retaining Paul Pogba and signing a central defensive midfielder must be the well the Red Devils end this summer transfer window.
As great as this fictional outcome sounds, fictional outcomes are usually different from actual reality. With Manchester United having already provided a total of £80 million for this summer's transfer budget. the likelihood of a Jadon Sancho and a central defensive midfielder unveiled as new signings this summer currently stands to be an unrealistic expectation unless a couple players are released from their contracts as Manchester United players therefore the end of the 2021 summer transfer window.
