The defensive concerns of Manchester United’s backline have been the focus of much attention in recent weeks, and with good reason. But problems and poor performance aren’t limited to that end of the pitch; the attack has also been lacking this season.

Manchester United’s Anthony Erik ten Hag’s club has scored the fewest goals in the top half of the table this season—47—one fewer than their number of goals allowed.

Although Bruno Fernandes is still the primary creator and scorer, even he has underachieved this season in comparison to his typical self. In light of this, let’s examine a prospective midfield addition who has the ability to be the next great Portuguese star.

Man United’s pursuit of a midfield player Journalist Rudy Galetti has reported that Man United is looking to strengthen their midfield position.

Due to Sofyan Amrabat’s impending departure following an unsuccessful loan stint, a midfield player is required; Adrien Rabiot is being considered as a possible replacement.Premier League adrien rabot man united goretzka Because the Juventus player is free to sign this summer, the writer describes the French ace as a “concrete option.”

Although Youssouf Fofana and Joao Neves are also mentioned as targets, their prices are far more than that of the Serie A star. Why Bruno’s true self could be revealed by Rabiot As previously said, Fernandes has assumed creative and goal-scoring responsibilities and has been the driving force behind everything admirable about the United attack this season.

This season, the number eight has led the team in shots, crucial passes, and big-time opportunities generated. He has also scored eight goals and contributed six assists.Marcus, Bruno, Fernandes, and Rasford He did, however, fall short of the heights of his previous Premier League season, in which he scored eighteen goals while playing as a high attacking midfielder in front of a double pivot consisting of Fred and Scott McTominay.

Along with Kobbie Mainoo, Rabiot’s possible signing might restore the 29-year-old’s sense of security, which would increase his effect in the last third. 23/24 Serie A Stats for Rabiot Statistics Rabiot Objectives 4 Helps 3.

First and foremost, Rabiot’s defensive prowess would make United far more secure, as his quickness and endurance would enable the team to halt transitions more frequently than they do now.Adrien Rabiot of Juventus during the pregame warm-up This means that instead of having to constantly track back over wide open distances, the former Sporting star can concentrate more on his offensive duties. However, Rabiot’s ability to be a threat in the final third, as demonstrated by his goals and assists this season, is what Muhammad Butt calls a “unreal” player. Similar to how McTominay affects the game right now, Rabiot frequently likes to make strong runs into the box to get on the end of crosses, like in the clip below. This would give Fernandes another target to hit in the box. Rabiot is a talented and experienced player, so the Red Devils should try to sign him this summer if he can get the most out of Fernandes. After all, signing him for nothing is the definition of a deal.
