Manchester United allowed 58 goals in the Premier League last season, underscoring their need for a stronger defense and a reliable defensive midfielder. With Casemiro having a less-than-stellar season and seemingly past his best, the club is looking for a new option to replace him.
Recent updates indicate that Manchester United is nearing an agreement to acquire Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Although Arsenal was initially believed to be in the lead for the Spanish international, Manchester United has now emerged as the frontrunner. The club’s strong pursuit has made it increasingly difficult for Sociedad to keep Zubimendi.
Reports from TDF reveal that Manchester United is ready to trigger Zubimendi’s 60 million euro release clause and has proposed a five-year deal to the 25-year-old, bringing him close to finalizing a move to Old Trafford this summer.
The upcoming days are likely to be pivotal in this transfer deal. Besides Zubimendi, Manchester United is also considering Uruguayan defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte and potentially re-signing Sofyan Amrabat, who was on loan at the club last season.
In your view, who would be the best choice for Manchester United to strengthen the defensive midfield position in this transfer window?
