Dutch wing-back Denzel Dumfries was once on the radar of Manchester United in the midst of a contract of a contract, but a new revelation has the hope of the Red Devils anything but extinguished
Manchester United Target Denzel Dumfries has written a new contract with Inter Milan. This is, despite his refusal to negotiate last year, with the Red Devils in the hope that he could solve their wing-back problems.
Since the arrival of coach Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, the hunt for competent wingbacks that suit his system are still. The will of Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw and Noussair Mazraoui just didn't cut it, and Patrick Dorgu, who was recruited in January, did not succeed in making a splash.
In the summer of 2024 it was reported that the Dutch defender Dumfries would refuse to donate a new deal with Inter until the window was closed, and even when that did, no negotiations were introduced. This was a high report, because according to athletics, Dumfries was aimed at going elsewhere, and the Red Devils did the most.
With Amorim who participated and put a further emphasis on a wide game, the prospect that a player of the Caliber of Dumfries is being poached this summer, with his contract that was exhausting, would have been joyful for United, although this hope has now been disturbed.
The 29-year-old, who played a crucial role in guiding last year's scudetto winners to the Champions League final, where they will be confronted with Paris Saint-Germain, has signed his wish to leave and signed a new deal in Italy until 2028.
Amorim's side now remains in an over-known perilous situation, with the right-sided wing-back position that they urgently need improvement. A player who was connected this summer to a move to Old Trafford was the countryman of Dumfries, Bundesliga star Jeremie Frimpong.
The Pacey 24-year-old was an important part of Bayer Leverkusen's brilliant undefeated league campaign last year, and with his contract the end is approaching, Vruiters stood in line.
But although his expertise on and down would have been the right side of Amorim's United for a T-shirt, and it is said that it is actively pursuing a deal for the player, according to German Outlet Bild, Rivals will hold its services for around £ 30 million.
With both Dumfries and Frimpong lost, attention will probably run elsewhere, with a gaping hole that still occupies this area of ​​the pitch.
In the past, Amorim has made it clear exactly what he wants from his right-sided star and after a home victory against Everton last December: “What I want is a good one-to-one, to open the field, to play, to close the field when we lose the ball, and it is the same in every team.”
Stephen Warnock, a full-back that played for Liverpool and Aston Villa, described exactly which features a competent wing-back will have to thrive in the most important Legaue and the athletics tells: “You have to be able to get up and down the field.
“You also need replacements to stand up and play in those areas,” he continued, which suggests that only one signing within these areas may not be sufficient for United.
“If you go up and down in that position, then you have to be able to run in the ground for, for example, 70 to 80 minutes, and then perhaps at the end of the game, you need someone to stand up and just fill that hole.”
