Manchester United has changed a lot this season, the manager has changed, the team's playing style has to change, and the attack is too dependent on Ronaldo, and what remains unchanged is that there are too many loopholes in the backline. It's hard to imagine that United's backline is full of world-class stars and can't create a steel defense. Captain Maguire's poor performance is United's biggest problem at the moment, and it is imperative to find a top centre-back partner Varane. At present, Manchester United's reinforcement strategy is basically only looking at the backcourt players, which is definitely the right medicine.
Generally speaking, United only buy expensive ones and rarely buy the right ones, but if they follow rival Chelsea to bring in stars, the choice is always not wrong. Chelsea have been pursuing Sevilla's French centre-back Conde for half a year, and due to the unwillingness to pay a €68 million penalty in the summer window, Conde has not yet been able to land in the Premier League. The French centre-back, who is only 23 years old, has already proven himself in La Liga, and although he is only 178cm tall, his confrontation ability and bounce are outstanding, and he is not affected by his height at all.
From Comte's recent mood, it can be seen that he is eager to leave the team as soon as possible. He received a red card for deliberately hitting Alba with the ball against Barca in La Liga, and this time venting was interpreted as dissatisfaction with Sevilla's forced retention of him. Sevilla are currently second in La Liga, and although it is difficult to win the La Liga title in the end, it is also a huge achievement as long as the ability to overwhelm Atletico and Barcelona. So, it's perfectly understandable why Sevilla didn't let go of the team's strongest centre-back, Conde.
But Chelsea chased hard, Conde really wanted to go, Sevilla also had some loosening, while Conde still had great value, or to hurry to sell. Now, the emergence of Manchester United to join the competition has made Sevilla firmly want to sell, because Manchester United has the function of raising prices, and Chelsea's bid will naturally not be too shabby. According to Manchester United's willingness to invest, it will certainly be willing to trigger Comte's liquidated damages, which is equivalent to grasping the initiative in advance.
At a time when Chelsea are still struggling with high transfer fees, United can naturally bring Comte closer if they show great sincerity. Manchester United actually has an advantage, that is, Varane, Conde is currently only a substitute centre-back for France, if he can join Manchester United, he can partner with Varane. As long as the two men complete the run-in, Deschamps must be in the eyes, may wish to directly transplant this center-back combination in the French team, so that Conde can get the main position of the French team.
If Comte is more ambitious, he can actually try to fight for the position of the defensive core at Manchester United. Varane is more introverted and has little ambition to compete for the core position, but Comte is an outgoing personality, a personality, a proactive player, and it is far easier to achieve a core position at Manchester United than at Chelsea. In this way, his status will be improved, and his treatment and encounters will also get better space.
So, Manchester United's bid for the strongest centre-back in La Liga, Conde, is absolutely right, while the current captain Maguire is probably out of position and could affect his england main position. Playing for a team at this level at Manchester United, in fact, once it goes downhill, it is difficult to turn over, if it were not for the fact that Varane is still recuperating, Maguire may have become a substitute. With Maguire's ability, in fact, he can retreat to join some mid-range teams, playing for Manchester United is too reluctant, leaving Manchester United should only be a matter of time.
