Ruben Amorim and Manchester United stand in line for a busy summer, but the Premier League side can be forced to wait until the last minute to land one of their goals
Manchester United will have to wait until the Deadline Day of the transfer if they want to land the midfield goal Hicham Boudaoui. The Algerian International is the newest name that emerges as a potential solution for the midfield problems of Ruben Amorim prior to the new season.
United boss Amorim has acted rapidly to strengthen his front-line, with Matheus Cunha completing a £ 62.5 million step from wolves. Midfield, however, remains a problem area, after a 15th place in the Premier League.
The difficult time of Casemiro in English football continued in the past term, while Amorim seems determined to use Kobbie Mainoo in a more advanced role and did not seem enthusiastic about playing Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte as two. Alternatives are viewed and the 25-year-old Boudaoui is one of those to attract attention.
According to the Sun, United Scouts sent to view the midfielder in action for Algeria against Sweden. It was a game to forget for Boudaoui despite some positive flashes, but with the visitors down 4-0 when he went in the hour before he retrieved three late goals.
Boudaoui has two more years about his current deal with Nice, but was tipped to leave this summer. However, due to the ownership situation of United, a step must be able to wait.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is believed to wait until September before he does not signal sessions from Nice, who are also owned by Ineos. United and Nice were both involved in last season's Europa League, with a United Move for Jean-Clair Todibo that was made impossible for the situation.
“They said that we can sell it to another Premiership club, but we cannot sell to Manchester United. But that is not fair for the player and I don't see what that achieves,” Ratcliffe told Bloomberg. TODIBO finally completed a seasonal loan movement to West Ham and has now permanently reached the London side.
It is still to be seen whether the other European clubs have been reported that they are enthusiastic about the midfielder deciding to test the water before September. The sun suggests that a bid of approximately £ 20 million can be sufficient to get a deal over the line.
Nice finished in fourth place in Ligue 1 last season, and narrowly missed the automatic qualification for the competition phase of the Champions League. They still have the chance to reach the competition through the qualifying rounds, where they have to come through two two -legged competitions.
United, on the other hand, will not be in European competition next season. Their low Premier League finish meant that the Europa League final offered their only hope, and they lost that against Tottenham in Bilbao.
