Manchester United In A Move For A Messi-Like Teenager As Alternative For Sancho
Manchester
United are reportedly considering a bid for Atalanta right-winger Amad Traore as an alternative to Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils being on
the hunt for a new forward this summer, but have so far been reportedly said to
be reluctant to pay the Bundesliga side’s the sum of £108million valuation of
England international Sancho.
Negotiations have recently
come to a hold and according to the Manchester Evenings News, Old Trafford
chiefs are digging out the possibility of a move for the Ivory Coast-born
Traore.
The 18-year-old became an eye
saw last season after scoring in his Serie A debut against Udinese, but has
spent the majority of his season playing for Atalanta’s youth side last season,
where he scored six goals and gave five assists in 16 appearances in the Primavera
1 division.
Papu
Gomez, his team mate has incredibly compared him with Lionel Messi due to his playing style.
The 32-year-old said on an
Instagram Live: “He plays like Messi.
Jamie
O’Hara says Manchester
United paying a total of £100m for Jadon
Sancho would be 'wrong' and 'really stupid'
He further revealed that “there
are defenders in the first-team that sometimes cannot stop him. In order to
stop him in training, we have to kick him.”
Meanwhile, United’s top
target Sancho has reportedly told Borussia Dortmund that while he’d be
content to remain at the club, he’d be ‘happy’ if he joins the Red Devils.
Ed
Woodward has allegedly wasted the whole transfer window trying
to bring to Old Trafford the
midfielder. But still no breakthrough yet, with the Bundesliga giants holding firm.
And journalist Fabrizio Romano has affirmed on the Herewegopodcast that, while Sancho would be content to stay at the
Westfalenstadion, he has told Dortmund
a move would make him ‘happy’.
