Manchester United tables £46.5m to seal deal for “really exciting” Premier league star; willing to join the club

Manchester United have made an offer to sign Everton midfielder Amadou Onana this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo .

The Red Devils are on the search for a new defensive midfielder and they have recently been linked with West Ham United’s Edson Alvarez.

Alvarez had a brilliant debut season for the Hammers after his move from Ajax, but his hamstring injury last night could hamper United’s plans.

Amidst this, Mundo Deportivo today claim that United have offered €55 million (£46.5m) up front with €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons to sign Onana.

Barcelona have also been credited with an interest, but the Catalan giants cannot afford to sign him unless they recoup funds from several exits.

Arsenal and Chelsea are also mentioned as admirers of the former Lille man, who was described as a ‘really exciting‘ footballer by manager Roberto Martinez.

Casemiro had a difficult second year at the Red Devils. He suffered several injuries and struggled to find any form or consistency during the back end of last season.

The Brazilian was guilty of losing possession on 12 occasions on average. He was dribbled past more than two times per game and was caught out of position regularly.

United clearly need an upgrade on Casemiro who appears past his prime. Onana could be the solution.

The Belgian won an impressive 66 percent of his duels last term – 74 percent of his aerial challenges. He won 2.4 tackles per outing with more than five ball recoveries.

The 22-year-old only lost possession on 6.8 occasions on average. He was also difficult to dribble past (0.7 per game). Onana would be a good successor to Casemiro.

The big question is whether United have made an offer or the story is agent-driven. Onana is the most valuable player for his agency BTFM, who could be eyeing a good commission.

MONDAY MORNING TRANSFER: Man Utd ‘open talks’ with French wonderkid as Everton refuse to drop £70m transfer fee for top target MANCHESTER UNITED have “made contact” with Lille over the signing of defender Leny Yoro, according to reports. Erik ten Hag’s men saw a £35million bid rejected by Everton for centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite earlier this month. And the Toffees appear to be holding firm with their £70m valuation of the Englishman – who made Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad for Euro 2024 but ultimately failed to make the final cut. According to Sky Sports, Man Utd will not make another attempt to sign Branthwaite, 21, unless they are given assurances by Everton that they are willing to negotiate on the £70m fee. The Red Devils are now looking at alternative options as they try to avoid a lengthy saga involving Branthwaite. Frenchman Yoro, 18, is one of those at the front of the queue after an impressive season with Lille. The talented youngster made his debut for the Ligue 1 club just one day after his 16th birthday. He has already racked up 60 first-team games and broken through into France’s U21 side. Yoro is also expected to feature for his country at their home Olympic Games this summer. Man Utd are in need of reinforcements at centre-half after Raphael Varane was released at the end of his contract. Victor Lindelof is also being linked with a move away as Fenerbahce monitor him closely. Ten Hag’s side conceded 58 goals in the Premier League last season – seven more than Branthwaite’s Everton despite finishing seven places higher. Speculation over a change in manager was quashed two weeks ago following Man Utd’s triumph in the FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City.
