Talks held: Man United propose swap deal to sign new “unbelievable” player alongside Bayindir

Posted by

Manchester United has had an unexpectedly difficult start to the Premier League season after a summer of additions. The Red Devils came close to winning all three points against Wolverhampton Wanderers before losing 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur.

They conceded twice in the opening four minutes against Nottingham Forest in their most recent game, so they didn’t exactly play at ease. The Red Devils eventually came back to win 3-2, but it was hardly a convincing victory.

Having said that, Erik ten Hag allegedly has unfinished business with regard to transfers and may still welcome a new fullback.

What is the newest transfer news regarding Manchester United?

The summer signings made by Manchester United appeared more than appropriate on paper. They added Rasmus Holjund, an aggressive attacker, after Andre Onana, an Inter Milan custodian, arrived to remedy their goalkeeping problem. Mason Mount also gave their midfield some much-needed vigour.

Altay Bayindir appears to be another custodian who will be joining the team soon. According to recent sources, the Fenerbahce custodian has already completed a medical and signed a deal with the Red Devils, while Dean Henderson is expected to sign with Crystal Palace.

United hasn’t appeared to be a team that has just fixed a few flaws so far this season, maybe forcing them back to the trade market. Old Trafford must act quickly because there are only a few days before the window slams shut; this could lead to exits to make room for new arrivals.

In a prospective move that would see Aaron Wan-Bissaka head the opposite way, Football Insider claims that Manchester United has been in discussions and has proposed a swap deal to buy Wolverhampton Wanderers right-back Nelson Semedo.

Football Insider reports that the Midlands club still has to offload players in order to comply with financial fair play rules during the current transfer window. Wan-Bissaka is entering the final year of his United contract, so a move that includes Semedo might benefit all sides. But given how challenging the deal may be, it seems to reason that United would need to move quickly to make it happen.

Nelson Semedo should Manchester United acquire him?

Upgrades are what the transfer window is all about, and Semedo would be just that for Manchester United when compared to Wan-Bissaka.

The Portuguese international outperformed the current United fullback last season in terms of progressive passes, take-ons, and clearances per 90.

Semedo has previously received well-deserved accolades when performing at his peak, especially from journalist Tim Spiers, who stated via This is Futbol:

“Semedo, his statistics were astounding.

“Much more than anyone else on the pitch, I made 10 tackles and 8 clearances. There’s a reason for it now, since Fulham frequently passed the ball in his way as a result of their targeting of him.

Yes, a few balls did go over his head, but overall, I felt he played well. Despite the fact that Semedo’s stats sometimes obscure how the game actually turned out, I think he performed admirably. And I believe he’s adjusting well because it shows greater mentality and confidence on his part.

Manchester United’s summer transfer window appears to be ending with a bang, and the club will be eager to provide Ten Hag with a team that can contend on all fronts.

If the Red Devils can accept Semedo while letting go of Wan-Bissaka, they might view the move as clever, and it appears to be one to watch.
