We need to improve in all areas with players like Mbappe and Vinicius, not NOT Sancho. We already have his replacement who has already agreed to join Manchester United. Trust me, he is an amazing winger”-Erik ten Hag breaks silence on Jadon Sancho’s returns as he reveals that Manchester United could make “formal approach” for £34m wonderkid after holding talks with Jadon Sancho’s replacement.
Manchester United is reportedly gearing up for a significant summer transfer window and may soon make a surprise bid for an unexpected target.
As the team prepares for their imminent FA Cup final showdown against Manchester City this Saturday, there’s a buzz of excitement about the opportunity for Erik ten Hag’s squad to conclude a challenging season with a triumph. However, once the match at Wembley concludes, the club’s focus will inevitably turn to restructuring the team for the upcoming season.
There are expected to be notable changes within the squad, especially in defense following the news that Raphaël Varane will be leaving the club. The midfield also looks set to be revamped due to the potential exits of key players such as Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.
Reports from AcademyScoop suggest that Manchester United has begun negotiations with representatives for Désiré Doué, a talented 18-year-old French player from Ligue 1 club Rennes. Doué, known for his versatility as both a midfielder and a winger, made a significant impact with 42 appearances in the 2023/24 season and has caught the eye of several leading clubs.
While Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal have shown interest in Doué, Manchester United is reportedly poised to make their move, backed by INEOS, to clinch his signature before other interested parties step in. According to French media source Ouest France, Rennes is open to offers for Doué, with the club seeking between £34-42 million for him.
Doué, who has two years left on his existing contract, has risen through the ranks at Rennes and is hailed as one of their brightest prospects. As Manchester United looks to rebuild and strengthen their lineup, securing a player like Doué could be a strategic move to inject fresh talent and versatility into their squad.
