After signing De Ligt and Mazraoui at the same time, United's uniforms continue to sweat in the transfer market, focusing on strengthening the two positions of midfield and left-back. In terms of priorities, the left-back is even above the midfielder because Luke Shaw is injured again.
Luke Shaw is known to have had a serious leg injury that left him with a serious injury concern. As you age, you are at greater risk of injury. Luke Shaw has suffered eight injuries in the past three seasons, two of which have been absent for more than three months, and was directly reimbursed for the season after the injury in mid-February last season, which directly left the left-back unavailable.
Therefore, Luke Shaw's injury at this point in time is undoubtedly a wake-up call for Manchester United's hierarchy, and last season's dilemma must not be repeated. While Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot are both available at left-back, Ten Hag is keen to sign a full-back.
There have been previous media reports of Manchester United and Marcos Alonso rumours, but this is clearly only a stopgap measure. Truth be told, Luke Shaw is 29 years old and United are well placed to make the transition at left-back. Have a suitable goal? Of course!
According to Turkey's Sporx, Manchester United will compete with Brighton for Kadioglu, with both clubs looking to bring in a left-back this summer. The report claims that Manchester United made an offer for a higher initial transfer fee, but if you include the variable fee, Brighton will be higher than Manchester United's offer.
Kadioglu represented Turkey at the European Championships this summer and did so well that he caught the attention of many European teams, including Manchester United. However, due to the fact that there are other transfers to be completed, there has been no substantial progress in the Kadioglu deal. But things have changed now, and according to Italy's Fabrizio Romano, Brighton have agreed personal terms with Cardiglu and will start talks with Fenerbahce for a transfer fee.
In this case, Manchester United also had to go out of the competition. Cardiglu wants to play in the Premier League and can match Brighton's offer on personal terms, or even offer a higher contract, so the key is the transfer fee. According to previous media reports, Brighton's offer of 35 million euros was rejected, and it is estimated that Fenerbahce's psychological price will not be less than 40 million.
So what are the odds of Manchester United? According to Turkish media reports, Manchester United's initial transfer fee offer is higher, but it is not as high as Brighton if it is added. This report is actually debatable. Judging from Manchester United's budget situation this summer, it is precisely that the initial transfer fee cannot be quoted too high, but the float can be a little higher, because Manchester United also wants funds to bring in a midfielder, unless Grand Paris accepts a loan + mandatory buyout to sell Ugarte.
As long as Manchester United's overall offer is not too low, Cardiglu is still more likely to choose Manchester United, after all, he can play the main team when he comes, and the platform is bigger, and there are more opportunities to show his face in Europe, let's wait and see.
