Manchester United are reportedly eyeing up a move for AS Monaco pair, Vanderson Campos and Youssouf Fofana.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are currently in the process of taking over the sporting activities of the Red Devils. And the agreement is anticipated to be completed in the upcoming weeks.
The intention is to create the framework for a new footballing system that will eventually assist the club perform better on the pitch. If the 25 per cent stake is approved, Paul Mitchell, the former sporting director of Monaco, is expected to assume a similar post at Old Trafford.
What Has Been Reported About United’s Interest In Vanderson And Fofana?
According to Football Talk, for a while now, United have been trying to bolster their right back and central midfield spots. The club’s interest in Vanderson, who Mitchell signed while he was at Monaco, fits with the potential sporting director’s goals.
Next season, Vanderson is a possibility for the right-back spot for the last season Carabao cup winners. Even though Diogo Dalot inked a new five-year contract in May, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has excelled when given opportunities by Erik ten hag, has frequently been the team’s first choice.
Real Madrid are believed to be concentrating on signing Vanderson alongside Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich for the left side. This is an effort to bolster both full-back positions.
Conversely, Fofana has caught the interest of multiple European clubs. He was included in France’s World Cup squad due to his exceptional Monaco performances. And Didier Deschamps has had him on the team ever since.
