Since the beginning of the current campaign, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been looking for a new right-back, and it appears that a summer transfer is imminent.
Diogo Dalot was effective in the first half of the season as the United boss decided to use him as the team’s de facto right back.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was on the verge of departing in January due to his performance and injury, but the Portuguese full-back’s injury during the World Cup gave the Englishman a path back in.
The summer could see the arrival of a new RB.
To be fair to the former Crystal Palace star, he has been among the best players and has been selected for the most important matches. The manager has praised his contribution both offensively and defensively.
There is no doubt that we are lacking in…
However, as was evident during the Tottenham game, the manager benched him because of his closing down and generally sluggish attitude.
With Jeremie Frimpong one of the favourites to sign with Old Trafford in the summer, there is still a chance that the team will move him on to make room for a more offensive option.
United has reportedly joined Premier League rivals in the chase for Paris Saint-Germain player Achraf Hakimi, according to Football Insider.
The full-back might be sold by the French champions for £50–60 million, and both English teams are prepared to make that kind of investment to retain his services.
Achraf Hakimi, who is wanted by Chelsea, is up for grabs at Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
“The French juggernauts are preparing a significant revamp of their team, with the club eager to attract more youthful players rather than veteran superstars.
Hakimi’s Chelsea against. United game
Hakimi has a price tag of between £50 and £60 million, according to the report, and both Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing the 24-year-old.
The Moroccan has been a constant in the first squad since his 2021 £60 million transfer from Inter Milan. Across all competitions, he has made 36 appearances and recorded four goals and five assists.
He has additionally demonstrated his versatility by occasionally playing as a right midfielder, with PSG making use of his offensive flair in specific matches.
In the event that PSG is actually looking to sell, United will struggle because Chelsea has been a longtime admirer. But they can surely try, and Ten Hag’s plans would be ideal with the 24-year-old in them.
