Despite the fact that they were unsuccessful in their pursuit of Michael Olise-, Manchester United made their initial offer to acquire a midfielder who scored 13 goals in Serie A last season. The athlete is going to be awarded the iconic jersey number, and the agreement has already been made.

Manchester United is gearing up for the next season with significant squad changes on the horizon. Although the club currently has limited funds, they might enhance their financial resources through substantial player sales.

A new centre-back is urgently needed, but there’s also a strong argument for bolstering the midfield with at least one new addition. According to a Sunday update from CaughtOffside, Manchester United aims to replace both Casemiro and Christian Eriksen in the midfield.

CaughtOffside reports that Adrien Rabiot has emerged as a top priority for manager Erik ten Hag. The 29-year-old midfielder is now considered a crucial target for the Dutch manager.

Rabiot was on Ten Hag’s radar during his initial season at Old Trafford, but the transfer fell through as the French international chose to stay with Juventus in Turin. Now, Ten Hag is eager to rekindle interest in the World Cup winner.

Acquiring Rabiot would inject youth into United’s midfield while preserving a high level of experience and skill. However, there is a complication: Rabiot has frequently hinted at leaving Juventus to secure more favorable terms, often leveraging interest from other clubs, including United.

Given United’s history of overpaying for certain players, there is a risk that this could be a tactic by Rabiot’s agents to negotiate a better deal with Juventus. Therefore, it is crucial for Manchester United to proceed with caution before making an official approach.

As this transfer saga unfolds, it remains to be seen whether United can secure Rabiot’s signature and strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season.
