Manchester United are looking to add another gifted player to their rates.
Manchester United look set to maintain their young club reform in the coming transfer panels with a move for a fresh Croatian midfielder dubbed' the second Luka Modric'.
With the late appearance of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain assisting the Red Devils ' move away from Scott McTominay, Hannibal Mejbri, and Donny van de Beek, they expanded their options in the middle of the area over the summer.
But, Erik ten Hag's side struggled to overcome the difficulties of last year, which saw them finish second in the worst-ever Premier League standings and suffer a year with a bad goal change, losing back-to-back group games in the first half of the new campaign.
Away from the beauty of the first team, the approaching INEOS government has put in plenty of framework improving the youngsters sides this summer, with the arrival of brilliant adolescent Sekou Kone signifying a new-found importance to building the club from the ground up, while the impending arrival of free-scoring Arsenal youngster Chido Obi-Martin more cementing this fresh ideology.
This has companions a young transfer method at senior levels, with three signings under the age of 24 bolstering the first-team ranks, while the oldest filing, Noussair Mazraoui, is still only 26. This looks set to continue moving forward as the Old Trafford dress looks set to make a move for 21-year-old Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Martin Baturina.
Recently dubbed' the second Luka Modric' for his brilliant playmaking capacity, Baturina has caught the attention of elite clubs across Europe as his gigantic rise continued with a call-up to the national team in 2023.
According to Croatian outlet Germanijak, the Red Devils have had scouts watching the midfielder in recent months with a view to a move next summer. Specialising in the' number ten ' role, Baturina's technical ability and creative flair have seen him become a viable long-term replacement for Bruno Fernandes.
United are n't alone in their interest, however, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Fiorentina all publicly linked to the starlet over the past 12 months. With over 100 senior appearances already under his belt, the playmaker is unlikely to move on the cheap, particularly if Dinamo Zagreb can drum up enough interest for a bidding war between now and the end of the season.
In DataVictory's view, this move will very much verge on the price tag. A reasonable price tag and the efficient acquisition of Fernandes ' rotation option would undoubtedly be viewed as smart business, a wise move, given his immense burden over the past few years. However, other areas remain a more pressing issue at Old Trafford, particularly with an exciting crop of midfielders already in the youth sides waiting to burst onto the season, meaning that a large outlay would likely have been better served improving other areas of the team, particularly if the Red Devils run into similar PSR issues next summer.
