Manchester United Pursues Serie A Star Midfielder for a Cost-Free Upgrade

Manchester United are aiming to enhance their midfield for free by pursuing a world-class French midfielder.

The need for a midfield upgrade for Manchester United

Currently, Manchester United are facing tough times, being knocked out of the Champions League and holding the 8th position.

They haven’t won the last four away games and suffered a disappointing defeat against Nottingham Forest, currently in the 15th position.

United are the third-lowest scoring side in the Premier League. Voices around Old Trafford suggest that Manchester United needs an upgrade and a change in the midfield system.

Erik ten Hag has tried seven different midfield combinations but hasn’t found the perfect formula, causing concern for him and the new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, leading them to actively seek an upgrade in the midfield.

Man Utd Keeps Tabs on Rabiot as Juventus Contract Nears End

Adrien Rabiot’s contract situation at Juventus is catching the attention of leading Premier League clubs, with Manchester United at the forefront in their quest to strengthen the midfield.

The French international’s contract expires in June 2024, and he could become a free agent if a new deal isn’t agreed with Serie A leaders.

Rabiot, aged 28 with over 10 years of experience, was previously pursued by Man Utd, but negotiations fell through due to wage demands.

Known for his challenging agent and mother, Veronique Rabiot, she has played a significant role in Juventus’ resurgence, contributing three goals and three assists in 16 Serie A matches this season.

Manchester United Eyes Juventus Midfield Maestro for Summer Move

Manchester United are closely monitoring Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who ranks among Italy’s top central midfielders this season.

Rabiot’s contract with Juventus expires in June 2024, making him an attractive prospect with no transfer fee next summer.

The French box-to-box player is considered a superior option to Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo and Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali.

His quality surpasses alternatives like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen. Despite interest from Premier League clubs, Juventus remains optimistic about extending Rabiot’s contract.

As Rabiot enters the last six months of his Juventus deal, negotiations for a new contract are expected to unfold in the coming months.
