Man Utd Set To Hijack Deal For Ligue 1 Star

Manchester United are reconsidering midfield options after deeming a deal for Manuel Ugarte too expensive.

Manchester United are once again keen to beat Seria A giant AC Milan in their move for Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana after Joshua Zirzkee deal.

Luca Bianchin, who is one of the most reliable sources for Milan, has reported that United are now getting serious about the opportunity of signing Fofana and despite the Frenchman’s preference for the Rossoneri, the race is said to be pretty wide open right now.

United have already presented an ambitious project to Fofana, who wouldn’t be against the idea of playing for the English giants, who are now a ‘dangerous’ presence in the saga because for the first time, Fofana is evaluating the possibility of joining another club.

AC Milan are keen on a deal, however, TMW reports they do not want to meet Monaco’s £30 million asking price.

Their move is at a standstill, giving Manchester United an opportunity to now swoop in for the second time this summer to land a Milan target.

Earlier this summer striker Joshua Zirkzee had appeared to be heading to AC Milan. Manchester United eventually hijacked the deal. A similar scenario could take place for Fofana deal this summer.
