Aurelien Tchouameni: United target’s bold claim about Paul Pogba
Aurelien Tchouameni: United target’s bold claim about Paul Pogba Aurelien Tchouameni has opened up on his admiration for former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in a recent interview. The Real Madrid star is one of the finest in his position in the world and has also been included in Didier Deschamps’ squad for this summer’s FIFA World Cup. Recent reports have suggested that the Red Devils are also keeping a close watch on Tchouameni as they look to reinforce their midfield at the end of the season.
The Premier League giants are keen to add more steel to the middle of the park to address Casemiro’s impending departure. The Brazilian, who has been indispensable under caretaker manager Michael Carrick in recent months, is set to leave this summer as a free agent. United want a proven figure to share the pitch with Kobbie Mainoo , who has been very impressive in recent months.
While INEOS have shown a preference for Premier League-proven candidates of late, it appears that they are willing to make an exception for Tchouameni . United need someone like Tchouameni Prising Tchouameni away from Real Madrid will not be easy, although his recent rift with Federico Valverde could offer United a window of opportunity to take advantage. The French midfielder was signed in 2022 to replace Casemiro at the Santiago Bernabeu and has done an impressive job so far.
Tchouameni’s skillset also makes him a fine replacement for the veteran Brazilian at Old Trafford. The Frenchman is a strong presence in the middle of the park, is tactically sound and has impressive ball-winning ability. The 26 year old’s aerial presence will also be a big boon, given that United heavily relied on Casemiro in both boxes.
Tchouameni is also comfortable with the ball at his feet, further explaining why United are enticed by the player. This season, the Frenchman has registered two goals and two assists in 49 appearances across all competitions for Los Blancos, all but three of which have been starts.
