Bruno Guimaraes: Man United must take huge chance
Bruno Guimaraes: Man United must take huge chance Manchester United have made significant progress this season as they sit third in the league with eight matches to go. The Red Devils signed well in attack last summer with the additions of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. With the departure of Casemiro and the probability of playing European football next season, it is imperative that United bolster their midfield quality and depth.
Moreover, the likely departure of Manuel Ugarte means even more will need to be invested in the midfield. As a result, the Red Devils have been consistently linked to talented midfielders such as Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and even Sandro Tonali . Most recent reports have suggested that United are taking a keen interest in Newcastle United captain, Bruno Guimarães .
It has been suggested that the player would be open to a move as Newcastle will likely secure Conference League football at best. What’s more, there have been reports from Brazil that United could seal a deal for around €80m (£69m). This would be a no-brainer, season-defining move for the club and one they must do everything in their power to complete.
Ready-made for Premier League The Red Devils made a point of securing Premier League-proven talent last season through Cunha and Mbeumo, and they have seen the rewards of this. Not that either player has been in top form all season, but Mbeumo hit the ground running and has come up clutch against most of the top clubs this season. Cunha’s form has improved massively since Christmas and he has been an integral member of Michael Carrick’s team.
Consequently, United have been linked to numerous English-based players and none are more proven than the Brazilian . Guimarães has been the star signing of the Newcastle project and has been the catalyst for everything they have done well since their Saudi takeover. He has been a driving force in the midfield and led them to their first cup success in decades.
