Manchester United is tied to the surprising moves of Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonari.
According to a report from the Italian publication Corriere Dello Sport, Manchester United will compete with Italian giant Juventus for the Newcastle midfielder. He is also linked to Real Madrid.
Manchester United hopes to secure qualifications for the Champions League next season, and will use money from European qualifications to sign players. They were able to put 100 million euros on the table of Italian international midfielders.
Tonari has been a key player for Newcastle this season and he has established himself as one of the league’s best defensive midfielders. He proved to be a great acquisition of Manchester United. The Red Devils have signed Manuel Ugarte, but South America has not yet adapted properly to British football. Casemiro is in the Twilight stage of his career, and Manchester United need an upgrade.
Man United could use Sandro Tonari
Tonari might be the ideal acquisition. He was well settled in the Premier League and was able to make an immediate impact. He may be seduced to join a bigger club after proving himself in Newcastle.
Manchester United are one of the largest clubs in the country and were able to provide him with a platform to compete in the Champions League next year and compete for the trophy.
Meanwhile, the Italians help Manchester United stay organized in the back, and his arrival allows creative players to run with more freedom.
Can Man United convince players?
It remains to be seen whether players are ready to join Manchester United instead of returning to Italy. Juventus is also enthusiastic about him, and the opportunity to return to his hometown is fascinating. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Manchester City is also monitoring his situation.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is also hoping to qualify for the Champions League, aiming to create a team that can win major trophies. Losing one of their best midfielders is a devastating blow. They are one of the richest clubs in the world and don’t have to sell any major players. It is still unclear how Manchester United will persuade them.
