According to the Spanish website Fichajes, Manchester United is prepared to make a £51 million offer for AC Milan player Theo Hernandez this summer.
It has been alleged that the Red Devils intend to bolster their team during this transfer window in order to carry out Erik ten Hag’s plan to continue the rebuild.
They already bought Mason Mount to boost their engine room, and they’re close to signing Andre Onana to bolster their goalkeeping staff.
Rasmus Hojlund has reportedly been named as someone that Ten Hag is very interested in recruiting as a new center-forward.
Since the former Ajax manager wasn’t impressed with Harry Maguire’s performances last season, the Dutch manager is also apparently trying to acquire a new center-back to replace him.
Hernandez to Man Utd
After Tyrell Malacia’s poor first season last season, Man Utd are now planning to buy a replacement left-back, and Ten Hag has identified Hernandez as a significant target, according to the report by Fichajes.
According to the source, Manchester United is willing to make a bid of about £51 million to persuade Milan to let go of its top player this summer.
But according to Fichajes, Man Utd would have a difficult time signing Hernandez because PSG is also interested in hiring him during this transfer window.
Hernandez is swift, powerful, good in the air, a reliable defensive contributor, and he has the ability to both set up opportunities for the attackers and take advantage of them.
If the France international were to join Man Utd this summer, the team would benefit from having one of the greatest left-backs in the world.
Man United don’t need to spend the rumored £51 million to add another alternative to strengthen their left side of the defense as they already have Luke Shaw, Malacia, and Diogo Dalot, who is a right-back by nature but can also play in the left-back position if needed.
Particularly in light of the suggestion that United’s transfer budget has been constrained by FFP laws and they can only afford to spend up to £120 million net. United would therefore be better off looking into ideas to bolster other sections of the team during this transfer window.
