Manchester United bagged their maiden win of the Premier League season in emphatic fashion last weekend as they trounced Ipswich Town 5-2 at Old Trafford, a week after their shock defeat to Hull City on matchday one.
Despite a solid start to the season, the Red Devils are keen on solidifying their squad depth between now and the end of the transfer window, with midfield and left backs believed to be especially important areas for Michael Carrick.
According to Ekrem Konur, the Red Devils are still interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga having been keen on his acquisition since the start of the summer, as they look to leverage from the Whites’ desire to sign Manu Kone.
Jose Mourinho is believed to want the AS Roma midfielder in his squad but a packed Madrid roster would need some departures, and Camavinga, who is valued at £43 million on Transfermarkt, might be the easiest to get rid of.
Excellent signing for Man United
Eduardo Camavinga’s potential acquisition by Manchester United would mean they would have signed an exceptional midfielder, as well as a player who can play effectively at left back, possibly offering more as a full back than Luke Shaw currently does.
Camavinga’s coverage of both ends of the pitch, thanks to his stamina, would be vital, as would be his ability to carry the ball forward, make well-time tackles and interceptions, and link-up effectively with good short as well as long passes.
On the player’s part, however, there has been an indication all summer that he has been keen on fighting for a place at the Bernabeu and after earning praise from Jose Mourinho following a starting berth against Malaga on Sunday in his side’s 4-0 win in La Liga, Man United face a difficult task if they are looking to convince him to join them.
