Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the French international defender Axel Disasi.
According to a report from Daily Mail, Manchester United have opened initial negotiations to sign the 24-year-old defender from Monaco.
However, they are not the only Premier League clubs keen on signing the Frenchman. Apparently West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Disasi as well.
It Is no secret that Manchester United will need to sign a quality defender, especially with Harry Maguire’s long-term future at the club uncertain.
It remains to be seen whether they can bring the 24-year-old Frenchman to Old Trafford in the coming months. Meanwhile, Tottenham will need to find a reliable partner for Cristian Romero, and the likes of Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier, and Clement Lenglet have been largely unconvincing this season.
Disasi could prove to be a quality long-term addition to Antonio Conte’s side.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League is likely to be a tempting proposition for the defender and joining clubs like Manchester United or Tottenham could help him develop further and fulfill his potential.
Disasi has been a reliable performer for Monaco at the back and he has the potential to develop into a top-class defender with coaching and experience. The Frenchman could prove to be a quality long-term addition to both Premier League clubs.
The 24-year-old can play in a back four as well as the right-sided centre back in a back three. Disasi is composed on the ball and he is strong in the air. He has the technical and physical attributes to thrive in England football.
Manchester United: Ten Hag must unleash Jadon Sancho against Everton
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will consider the FA Cup as a sterling opportunity to clinch a piece of major silverware in his debut season in charge of the prestigious club.
With the Red Devils devoid of silverware since defeating Ajax Amsterdam in the 2016/17 Europa League final, and currently adrift of the expectation of Champions League football, finishing sixth in the division last term, Ten Hag is rekindling the fire at the club and giving impetus to the magnitude of playing on the Old Trafford turf.
Currently fourth in the league after 17 matches with a game in hand on third-placed Newcastle United – with both sides on 35 points – Ten Hag has already made gains with the outfit; last season, United were seventh with 28 points at the same stage.
But now, with the FA Cup third round serving as the starting point for the Premier League outfits to begin a surge towards domestic glory, the Dutch manager will indeed have his sights set on gifting the supporters a taste of things to come with triumph at the end of the campaign.
Alejandro Garnacho will be the player many fans will like to see on the starting sheet, but one other player who might find themselves at the centre of the tournament is Jadon Sancho, who is failing to replicate his coruscating skills and creative ingenuity that earned him the £73m summer move from German outfit Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
Will Jadon Sancho succeed at Man United?
Having made 52 appearances for his current outfit, the 22-year-old has only snatched eight goals and four assists, a stark decrease from his final two seasons with the Yellow Wall, where he remarkably scored 36 goals and served 40 assists in total.
There have been glimpses of what is still to come, with Sofascore record of Sancho’s 83% pass accuracy and 1.4 key passes per match a clear indication of his prowess when selflessly providing for his teammates.
It is also worth noting that with United currently without an established centre-forward, Sancho might be one of the most grateful, with a clinical talisman allowing Marcus Rashford to drift out wide to his favoured position and concurrently permitting Sancho to serve.
And with Everton’s wayward direction and recent 4-1 home drubbing to the impressive Brighton & Hove Albion, Sancho’s fleet-footed weaving and lightning bursts of pace could unravel the Toffees’ backline.
Dubbed a “menace” by Thomas Muller, he holds all the ingredients to make the concoction, just not quite the entire recipe, but when the cogs combine and he gets firing across all cylinders, Ten Hag and Man United will have a fearsome and formidable force to yield for years to come.
