Man Utd won’t challenge Liverpool for Marcos Senesi Next summer, Man Utd’s priority is to revamp the midfield department. Jason Wilcox and Co. are also expected to recruit a right-footed left winger, and potentially a left-back.
Nevertheless, the arrival of a new central defender should be an objective as well due to the current state of the department (as mentioned above). In recent weeks, Marcos Senesi emerged as a potential low-cost solution. The 28-year-old is leaving Bournemouth once his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Argentine has been hailed for his ‘phenomenal’ displays at the Vitality and ability to advance the play. But according to The i Paper , Senesi’s most likely destination is Anfield Road.
