Manchester United are now looking to sign Manu Kone from AS Roma during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Sport Mediaset, Manchester United are now ‘focusing heavily’ on signing the French international, and they have a €50 million offer ready for him.
Manu Kone has done well in the World Cup
The 25-year-old has done well in Italy and impressed with his performances for his country at the World Cup. Manchester United need a defensive midfielder after the departure of Casemiro, and Kone should prove to be an excellent acquisition. He has shown that he can win the ball back for his team and protect the back four.
He has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, and it remains to be seen whether he can secure the move this time around. Signing a player of his quality would represent an intelligent investment for Manchester United. They have secured Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they need quality players to match up against the European elite.
Man United move could be ideal for Kone
The 25-year-old midfielder is entering the peak years of his career, and this is the right time for him to join a bigger club and take on a bigger challenge. Manchester United will provide him with the platform to push for trophies. It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils make an official offer to get the deal done. €50 million should be enough to complete the deal.
Kone has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he should be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact next season.
Manchester United were interested in signing Ederson from Atalanta, but the deal has now collapsed. It seems that Kone will be his alternative.
