5 Players Manchester United are linked to in the Transfer Market right now

#2 Alex Sandro

Alex Sandro had 3 strong seasons at Juventus and has reportedly been a subject of a bidding war between Manchester United and PSG. However, it would seem that the Premier League side are at a disadvantage here. One, they already have Luke Shaw in their ranks, who has refused to move away and reiterated his stance to stay and fight for his position.

But it has been almost 4 years since his arrival and Shaw has not kicked off or lived up to his potential. He still has age on his side, but his wages mean that he is not a cheap player to be on the bench. Second, the transfer deadline in England is August 9, so United have to complete any deal within that time, while PSG can sit back and work any shortcomings to their advantage.

However, Sunday Express have reported that transfer expert Duncan Castles, who is also close to United Boss Mourinho, claims that United have already agreed a deal with the Juventus Left Back and it is only a matter of time before a fee is agreed between the sides. United have used Sandro’s low wages at Turin to their advantage, apparently, according to Castles and won him over by offering to double his salary. He also claims that Juventus were reluctant to sell, but with s high price on offer, have decided to cash in.

Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Juventus have identified Marcelo and Matteo Darmian as two possible replacements and Lucas Digne is the third alternative. While United fans would love Luke Shaw to prove everyone wrong and make this a breakthrough season, the management seems to have already identified Sandro as a better alternative.
