Man Utd Reach 77m for Mystery Player as They Break Down Barcelona Resistance
Sub Title
Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign a mystery player for a fee in the region of £77 million, according to reports. The player's identity has not been revealed, but it is believed to be a Serie A defender. This move comes as Manchester United are set to make an offer for one of Serie A's best defenders this summer, according to Football365.
Paragraph
The Red Devils are reportedly very close to agreeing a transfer fee with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund, per Fabrizio Romano and CBS Sports. This follows the appointment of former Southampton chief Jason Wilcox as Manchester United's new head of recruitment, a key appointment ahead of the FA Cup semi-final.
Paragraph
Manchester United have been linked with a number of players this summer, including Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski. However, it is believed that the mystery player is not one of these two players.
Paragraph
The signing of a new defender would be a major boost for Manchester United, who have struggled defensively this season. The Red Devils have conceded 44 goals in the Premier League this season, which is more than any other team in the top half of the table.
Paragraph
The addition of a top-class defender would help to shore up Manchester United's backline and make them more competitive next season. The Red Devils will be hoping to challenge for the Premier League title next season, and the signing of a new defender would be a major step towards achieving that goal.
