Breaking news: great news for Manchester United fans, as Ralf Ragnick sends a good bye message to martial as the club seals the deal for superb striker ...
Manchester United have made contact
with River Plate starlet Julian Alvarez ahead
of a potential move in the January transfer
window.
Reports last week from Fabrizio Romano
claimed that while Ralf Rangnick’s side
are monitoring the Argentine attacker, there
had been no talks going on as things stand.
However, Austin sports have since revealed
that Alvarez’s agent Fernando Hidalgo
has been contacted by the Red Devils as
they push towards making a new signing.
It’s added that United have a clear intention
of arranging a meeting for New Year’s Eve
to find out the terms that they need to agree
in order to sign Alvarez, while the fee is
not thought to be a stumbling block.
Bye-bye Martial
The River Plate youngster is someone
who can play anywhere across the frontline
, and after a highly impressive campaign in
his native Argentina, he was named as part
of his country’s Copa America squad this
summer.
He is very much a creative attacker, bagging
four goals and setting up another seven in
just 20 appearances last season, including
a couple of games where he plundered a
hat-trick of assists against Godoy Cruz and
Central Cordoba respectively.
This campaign has seen him take his game
to another level, scoring18 times and providing
another seven assists in just 21 games
in the Argentine top flight.
It’s therefore no surprise that Marcelo Gallardo
, his manager at club level, has previously
hailed the youngster as someone who “every
coach would love to have” – not least United’s
new boss Rangnick.
With reports in recent weeks suggesting
that Anthony Martial has requested to leave
Old Trafford due to a lack of game-time, this
could be the perfect chance for United to
get rid of the Frenchman and bring in someone
who is much younger and appears to be
just as exciting in terms of talent.
The £18m-rated Argentine starlet could
arrive at Old Trafford and send Martial
on his way as well.
