Manchester United intensify their pursuit of a versatile right wing-back as they explore affordable alternatives amid a competitive transfer market.
According to fotnet24.net, Manchester United now seek a specialist to excel in Ruben Amorim’s high-octane 3-4-2-1 formation. The club experiments with several options to fill this tactical void.
The Red Devils dismiss Alejandro Garnacho’s preference for a pure winger role, while Diogo Dalot shows limited threat in the final third. Meanwhile, Noussair Mazraoui plays best within his defensive duties.
United have initiated talks with Sporting CP regarding 17-year-old Geovany Quenda. Despite persistent rumors, United have yet to finalize personal terms, according to TEAMtalk.
Facing high price tags, United shift focus to Braga’s Roger Fernandes. The 19-year-old star recorded five goals and five assists in 44 games this season, outshining his rival.
Braga holds Fernandes on a contract until June 2028 that includes a €40million exit clause. United believe they can secure his services for under £33million if the cost proves favorable.
Known for his explosive one-on-one skills, Fernandes offers pace, precision, and vision. His crisp crosses and versatility suit both the wing-back and winger roles in a dynamic setup.
In parallel, United open discussions with Crystal Palace for striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, priced at £40million, as a potential substitute for Rasmus Hojlund. Pressure mounts on coach Ruben Amorim, yet INEOS insists on retaining his expertise.
