Manchester United’s defensive struggles were evident last season, as they conceded 58 goals in the Premier League. This has underscored their need for a solid backline and a dependable defensive midfielder. Casemiro, who had a lackluster season, seems to be past his peak, prompting the club to look for a replacement for the Brazilian.
Recent updates indicate that Manchester United is nearing a deal to acquire Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. While it initially appeared that Arsenal was in the lead to sign the Spanish international, Manchester United has now emerged as the frontrunner. The club’s strong interest has made it increasingly challenging for Sociedad to keep hold of Zubimendi.
According to TDF, the 20-time English champions are ready to trigger Zubimendi’s 60 million euro release clause. They have also reportedly offered the 25-year-old midfielder a five-year contract, bringing him very close to joining the Red Devils this summer.
The upcoming days will be crucial in determining the outcome of this transfer. In addition to Zubimendi, Manchester United has also shown interest in Uruguayan defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Another potential option is bringing back Sofyan Amrabat, who was on loan at Old Trafford last season.
