Manchester United are close to making a big move in the transfer market. The club has reportedly beaten the two Spanish giants, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
This is according to Todofichajes, who believes that Adrien Rabiot himself wants to join the Premier League.
Indeed, the report claims that Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag is also a big fan of the French international.
Rabiot will therefore be an important recruit, as the Mancunian club are looking for an ideal partner for Kobbie Mainoo in the deep midfield role.
Casemiro has failed to live up to expectations, reinforcing the need for a new midfielder at Old Trafford. And the former Juventus man could be the answer, with his vast experience likely to prove very useful.
In addition, the former Paris Saint-Germain star’s contract at Juventus expired this summer.
Which means it is available for free. Under the Turin jersey, Adrien Rabiot has made 212 appearances in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and providing 15 assists.
As a reminder, Rabiot won a Serie A title at Juventus, among other trophies.
Furthermore, although the Red Devils are considered one of the biggest clubs in the world, they are not in the best position at the moment.
Manchester United finished eighth in the Premier League last season and will not participate in the upcoming UEFA Champions League.
However, young signings Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee may suggest the club are now on the right track.
