Manchester United: The "scrap" Lions speak out! Mbemo is getting closer and Sesco transfer is put on the agenda

Since the end of last season, Manchester United's signing efficiency has not seemed ideal. Apart from Cunha, which has been finalized, the Red Devils have not officially announced other important signings. With the official launch of the new season preparation, Manchester United's signings have accelerated significantly recently, and at least three signings have made decisive progress. At the same time, facing the increasingly bloated lineup, the team's "slimming" has also made substantial progress, and several "maximum salaries" are about to leave the team.

In the eyes of the outside world, Manchester United's performance has continued to be sluggish in the past few seasons, which is directly related to the team's poor signings. Among them, Sancho, who made the team pay 85 million euros, was regarded as a representative of the failed signing. At Old Trafford, the England international has never even produced a good season. The best Premier League figure in a single season has only 6 goals and 3 assists, and the number of goals directly involved has never been in double digits. In addition to his poor performance on the court, Sancho was criticized for his poor relationship with the head coach and some teammates off the court. In this case, Manchester United left him on loan twice, but Sancho's performance was unconvincing, both at Borussia Dortmund, and at Chelsea.

In the German market, Sancho's value has also dropped again and again, from a peak of 130 million euros to the current 28 million euros, which is not even enough for the previous fraction. Fortunately, Sancho is currently only 25 years old and is at the golden age of a player, which makes some teams still willing to try on him. According to Turin Sports, Juventus had basically negotiated with Manchester United for Sancho's transfer, and they would pay him a transfer fee of 17.5 million euros. At the same time, they also provided Sancho with an annual salary of 6 million euros. However, just when the outside world believed that the transfer was about to be officially completed, the "scattered" of the forward suddenly spoke out and demanded a severance payment of about 6 million euros. It is reported that Manchester United is very disappointed with Sancho's request. They have no intention of bearing the cost alone, and at least hope to share the payment with Juventus.

For this period of time, Manchester United's signing focus has actually been on Mbemo. Previously, they had offered Brentford twice, but both were rejected. According to British media GiveMeSport, Manchester United decided to give it a try and they have provided a third offer, with a total of £70 million, including a fixed clause of £65 million and a floating fee of £5 million. In the eyes of the outside world, such a quotation has basically met the other party's expectations. Coupled with Mbemo's strong desire to join Manchester United, the transfer has actually been decided. Mbemo is very hopeful to be Manchester United's second official signing during this transfer period.

In the midfield position, Manchester United is also looking for a player with excellent technical skills to enhance the team's creativity. According to transfer expert Daniele Longo, Manchester United suddenly intervened in the transfer of Valencia midfielder Xavi Gra, and quickly made decisive progress, and an agreement has been reached on the personal treatment of the players. From the technical perspective, as a typical "hexagon" player, Xavi Gra is very good at defensive interception, offensive organization and back-shot shooting. In addition, he has a height of 1.87 meters and excellent physical ability to fight, which helps him gain a foothold in the Premier League. The transfer fee for Xavi Grah is expected to be approximately 30 million euros.

In the center position, Hoylen is only one step away from leaving the team. According to givemesport, Manchester United's signing team has recently communicated intensively with Cesco and made gratifying progress. Although Manchester United missed the European game next season, the "divine forward" still agreed to join the Red Devils. Red Bull Leipzig agreed to let Sesco leave the team, and they demanded a transfer fee of no less than £78 million. (End)
