Transfer: Man Utd want priority signing of £131million star, Ten Hag keen – Journalist

Enzo has been selected in La Albiceleste’s 28-player preliminary squad for the World Cup and the Portuguese outlet claim that the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool are also interested in signing the 21-year-old midfielder.

Last season, the youngster scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in all competitions for River Plate and Benfica managed to secure his signing in the last transfer window.

The 2-capped international can effectively play anywhere in the center of the park and has impressed for the Liga Nos side, who are currently on top of the table with a lead of 8 points over arch rivals, Porto.

As far as the current campaign is concerned, so far, Fernandez has netted 3 goals and provided 4 assists in all competitions under the management of Roger Schmidt.

At Old Trafford, the likes of Fred, Casemiro and McTominay are not creative midfielders. Eriksen is a creative player but the Danish international is naturally a CAM/LW and Ten Hag has used the veteran as a deep lying playmaker.

Therefore, a creative central midfielder must be signed in the winter transfer window. Enzo Fernandez’s current market value is over £44million (Sport). Should Man Utd meet the valuation to secure his signing in January?
