The search of Manchester United for a new attacker has brought them back to Leon Bailey, it was said.
United looked at Bailey for the first time in 2016, when the Jamaican was still in his teenage years. Jim Lawlor, the most important explorer of the club at the time, looked at Bailey in action for Genk against Sassuolo and saw him score when the Belgian side hit 3-1 winners.
However, when Bailey Genk left in 2017, it was not for Old Trafford. He joined Bayer Leverkusen for about £ 17 million and spent more than four years at the Bundesliga Club before he finally got a Premier League opportunity at Aston Villa.
Now 27, the wing player born in Kingston could finally get that United Move. However, he is not the only attacking prospect that is sucked up by Ruben Amorim's side.
Bailey is one of the three attacking options that are considered by United according to athletics. Christopher Nunku is another, with the Frenchman looking for a switch from Chelsea, while Ruben Amorim's side could also steal a march on Premier League rivals Arsenal and a deal for Mathys Tel over the line after he Tottenham had rejected.
United is supposed to give a loan for count, while Arsenal stays in the elevator after Spurs has watched a permanent deal, but the former Rennes man could stay in Bavaria. “Mathys is extremely connected to the club,” Bayern -sports director Christoph Freund told Sky Sport Deutschland. “He likes to be here. It is quite possible that he will still be a Bayern Munich player on Tuesday.”
If Bailey eventually became the top goal, every deal would be separated from villas from United Forward Marcus Rashford. International Rashford from England is supposed to say goodbye to his teammates on Saturday, with the deal that will probably become official on Sunday.
United made their first addition of the window on Saturday, with Ayden Heaven who participated from Arsenal. The teenage center-back made only one senior performance for the Gunners, but technical director Jason Wilcox hinted that he could give more to his new club.
“We are pleased that Ayden has joined Manchester United.” Said Wilcox. “He is already an extremely talented defender who is ready to participate in our team of the first team.”
Patrick Dorgu is expected to follow on the neighborhood, with the Danish defender who joins United on Sunday. The versatile full-back did not travel to Parma with his Lecce teammates for their Serie A collision on Saturday, but the relegation griders still took a crucial 3-1 victory without him.
A movement for Bailey, or even for one of the other goals, is not expected to be at the expense of Alejandro Garnacho. Chelsea and Napoli have both investigated a deal for the Argentina -International, but Amorim hinted after Thursday's victory that he wants Garnacho to stay.
“He sometimes understands that I am another coach, whom I ask in my own way, sometimes it is difficult for the first impact,” Amorim told reporters. “It is a different kind of coach and he understands that it is never in a bad way, it is always for him, but I am a different person. I think all the merit of Garnacho is and he improves, and we want to keep improving with Garnacho.
