Fabrizio Romano delivers an update on free agency amid reports of a Manchester United move.
Manchester United are actively seeking new signings, aiming to strengthen every position within the squad.
Following an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and an early exit from the Champions League group stage last season, the Red Devils are determined to address their weaknesses this summer. Despite their FA Cup victory over Manchester City, the team has significant areas that need improvement.
One of their key targets is French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is currently a free agent after refusing to renew his contract with Juventus. Manchester United have long been linked with Rabiot, and his current free agent status makes a move to Old Trafford a feasible possibility.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update that isn’t entirely favorable for United. Romano mentioned to GiveMeSport that other clubs might enter the race for Rabiot, as he remains a significant opportunity in the transfer market. Although nothing is definitive yet, Romano believes Rabiot is unlikely to extend his stay at Juventus.
If Manchester United are serious about securing the French international, they need to act quickly. Rabiot, who is currently on international duty at the Euros, will likely attract attention from top clubs worldwide, making it crucial for United to make a prompt decision.
Manchester United are also planning a major overhaul of their midfield. With the futures of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Sofyan Amrabat uncertain, the club has already identified potential replacements. Additionally, manager Erik ten Hag and the club management are targeting a new striker and defender, with Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt among the names being considered for a move to Old Trafford.
Despite their disappointing Premier League finish, the club’s hierarchy has decided to retain ten Hag. Now, it is up to him to lead the rebuilding process and restore Manchester United to a respectable position in both domestic and international competitions.
