Mirror: Ding Ding + Wheat suggest Napoli sign Menu, or rent and then buy from Manchester United

Hupu November 02 According to a report from the English media "Mirror", Serie A club Napoli is determined to sign the English midfielder Menu who failed at Manchester United in the winter window, and is even willing to fully bear his weekly salary of 35,000 pounds.

"Mirror" stated that Naples chairman De Laurentiis has informed Manchester United of this intention and consulted the opinions of two former Manchester players De Bruyne and McTominay. Both of them believe that the English midfielder will perfectly fit in the tactical system of coach Conte.

Although Naples pursued Menu this summer, the then-new coach Amorim’s commitment to retaining players made the player choose to stay at Old Trafford. However, the 20-year-old Carrington youth player has only made 8 appearances this season, and has only made 1 start in the Premier League. With Casemiro and Bruno Fernandez locking in the main midfield, Menu knows that if he wants to join the 2026 World Cup squad, he must obtain stable playing time through transfer.

It is reported that Naples hopes to rent before buying, which is in line with their successful model of absorbing frustrated players from Manchester United - McTominay was awarded the best player in Serie A last season, and Hoylen, who joined on loan this summer, also scored 4 goals in 7 games. Although coach Amorim vetoed Menu's departure at the end of the window in September, he explained at the time: "I didn't communicate with him before because I didn't want him to misunderstand that he was forced to stay on the team. I have high hopes for him, but some people think that he has been finalized, but I think there is still huge room for growth - this may not be fair for geniuses, but strict requirements are the real help."
