Man united are cooking- A new player is coming”- Skysports journalist is ‘more than impressed’ with Erik Ten Hag and confirms Man united are going for another big signing- Talks on going with ‘a high profile player’ already

Manchester United’s summer transfer activity has been bustling, with four signings already secured, and there’s speculation that more deals could be finalized before the August 30 deadline. While the club’s primary focus remains on strengthening their midfield, particularly by adding a defensive midfielder, their search for talent hasn’t been limited to just one area. Reports suggest that United may still be eyeing offensive reinforcements, with names like Juventus’ Federico Chiesa being thrown into the mix.

According to recent reports, including one from Sport, United have allegedly tabled an offer for the Italian international, although Chiesa himself may be leaning towards a move to La Liga, with Barcelona also expressing interest. The situation, however, remains fluid. Chiesa is reportedly considering United’s offer, partly due to Barcelona’s ongoing issues with player registration, which could complicate any potential move to Spain.

Despite this interest, there’s skepticism surrounding the likelihood of Chiesa joining Manchester United. The 26-year-old forward had a challenging period with Juventus, largely due to a serious knee injury, but he made a strong comeback in the 2023/24 season, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists across 37 appearances. His ability to play both as a second striker and on either wing makes him a versatile asset for any top club.

However, United’s current roster is already well-stocked in the attacking department. With players like Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo, Jadon Sancho, and Antony competing for positions on the wings, and Marcus Rashford also an option on the left, there isn’t an obvious need for another winger unless there’s a major departure from the squad. Additionally, up front, the club has bolstered its ranks with the additions of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund, and manager Erik ten Hag has shown a willingness to use Bruno Fernandes as a false nine when needed.

Although Sancho has been linked with a move away from the club, there haven’t been any concrete offers for him as of now. This further diminishes the likelihood of United pushing for Chiesa’s signature, as the club would be unlikely to guarantee him the regular playing time he would presumably seek.

Chiesa, who has been lauded as “world-class” by former Italian defender Alessandro Pierini, might not end up at Barcelona either, given their registration challenges. The ongoing speculation around his future could very well be a tactic by his agents to spark interest from other top European clubs during the final days of the transfer window.

Currently, Chiesa is available for a relatively modest fee of £13 million, having entered the final year of his contract with Juventus. The Turin-based club has reportedly put him up for sale after he rejected an extension, making his future a subject of much intrigue as the transfer window nears its close.

Manchester United’s summer transfer activity has indeed been significant, with several new signings already in place. The club’s primary focus is on strengthening the midfield, particularly with the addition of a defensive midfielder, but there are also ongoing discussions about potential offensive reinforcements.

Federico Chiesa of Juventus has been linked with United, with reports indicating that the club has made an offer for the Italian international. Despite interest from United, Chiesa is reportedly considering a move to Barcelona, although the Catalan club’s ongoing player registration issues could complicate this move.

Chiesa, who had a challenging period with a knee injury but made a strong comeback last season, offers versatility and attacking prowess. However, given United’s current attacking options, including Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and new additions like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund, there is less pressing need for additional wingers unless there are significant departures.

Sancho’s potential departure remains speculative with no concrete offers reported, which could impact United’s pursuit of Chiesa. Chiesa’s availability for a relatively modest fee of £13 million, as he is in the final year of his contract with Juventus, adds intrigue to his potential move. His situation could indeed be leveraged by his agents to attract interest from other top European clubs as the transfer window approaches its close.
