Manchester United splashed around £600m under Erik ten Hag but they need a complete rebuild once again.
From goalkeeper to center-forward, they will have to spend big again to hand new head coach, Ruben Amorim, the necessary tools to help him implement his style.
Midfield isn’t an exception as Christian Eriksen is expected to leave as a free agent this summer, while Casemiro is said to be on the chopping block.
The Brazilian was struggling to showcase his best but has looked steady in recent matches. Still, considering he will turn 34 next year and is on high wages, signing a new midfielder to replace him would be the right decision.
Now, Italian outlet, Corriere dello Sport, state that Juventus midfielder, Douglas Luiz would be open to leaving this summer having failed to get regular playing time this season.
Nottingham Forest previously expressed their interest in him but he only wants to join a big club and would move to Manchester City or Man Utd, due to their ‘prestige.’
However, the Citizens recently bolstered the midfield by signing Nico Gonzalez from FC Porto so they may not go for him. In that case, United could get a clear pathway to hire him should they make a move.
Juventus don’t want to let him leave for anything less than £34m[€40m] to avoid enduring a loss but they could accept a loan with an obligation to buy option to sell him.
Although the Samba midfielder has struggled with Juventus this season, he showcased his qualities with Aston Villa last term, making 20 goal contributions in all competitions. Moreover, he guided them to qualify for the Champions League.
Douglas Luiz is a Premier League proven player and would be quality midfield addition should Man Utd hire him. What do you think?
