Done Deal: Manchester United signs 26-year-old superstar from top club as the star joins on Six-years deal
Manchester United are ready to offer £25m to sign Brazilian right-back Vanderson this summer, according to journalist Sebastien Vidal.
The Red Devils are looking to bolster their squad for Ruben Amorim during the upcoming transfer window after a dismal campaign saw them finish 15th in the Premier League, while also losing the Europa League final, meaning they will not play European football next season.
The club have already added Brazil international Matheus Cunha to the squad after triggering his £62.5m release clause, but reports now suggest they could sign one of his international teammates too.
Man Utd Ready to Bid £25m for Vanderson
Monaco ‘seriously considering’ offer
According to journalist Vidal, Man Utd are now preparing a £25m bid for Monaco’s Brazilian defender Vanderson, who is expected to leave Ligue 1 this summer.
The Principality club are said to be ‘seriously considering’ the offer, with a deal described as ‘one to watch’, despite the fact there are some internal doubts over whether the 23-year-old would fit into Amorim’s 3-4-3 system.
Vanderson, who has been described as ‘phenomenal’, has played as a traditional right-back for Monaco this season and been a regular, but is now looking at a new challenge in his career.
Currently Amorim has Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui as his options at right wing-back, while Amad has also played there despite being a naturally more attacking player.
However, Mazraoui has admitted that he prefers to play as one of the centre-backs in this system, and Amorim has opted for Amad to play as one of his number tens on a regular basis, which means an addition in the position could be something to look at this summer.
United are also said to be edging closer in a move to bring in Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford to strengthen their attack, with the Cameroon star preferring a move to Old Trafford over other rival clubs.
