In order to get Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich, former Manchester United player Louis Saha thinks manager Erik ten Hag should pursue a double deal.
The purchase of a 25% stake in Manchester United by Sir Jim Ratcliffe was approved by the Premier League on Tuesday, allowing the Ineos company to oversee football operations at Old Trafford.
In order to return the team to its former glory, Ratcliffe is determined to implement significant changes. Many players have been mentioned as potential Old Trafford transfer targets.
The media has mentioned a number of players as United’s transfer targets, including Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton, Michael Olise of Crystal Palace, Pedro Neto of Wolves, Gleison Bremer of Juventus, and several more.
Louis Saha, the former striker for United, believes that the squad should instead try to sign Kimmich and Davies from Bayern, who are both going into their last year of contracts at the end of the current campaign.
According to Saha, Davies, a left-back with a reputation for speed and offensive desire, would strengthen United’s defence, while Kimmich would support the team’s midfield.
He informed Betfred, “They are two very experienced players, especially Kimmich.” “Kimmich would undoubtedly be a fantastic fit because he’s one of the fittest players in Europe, has a lot of playing experience, and is extremely nimble. Undoubtedly, both he and Davies are excellent players.
Saha pointed out that although no transfer plan can guarantee success, he believes it is wise for United to focus on players whose contracts are about to expire. He also underlined how important Champions League football is to the competition to acquire top players.
“Selecting players with a year left on their contract is a wise move, but it doesn’t always work out,” Saha continued. Since Mason Mount hasn’t been successful at Manchester United thus far, a lot of elements, including the players’ personalities and suitability for the Premier League, will eventually determine the outcome.
It won’t be simple for Manchester United to complete any of these acquisitions because other teams will be interested in these players if their contracts are expiring. The Champions League may be more appealing to some other teams hoping to sign these players if Manchester United is unable to provide it to them the next season.
In order to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, United must make a significant investment in new players. If they don’t act promptly, United might fall years behind its Premier League competitors.
