Manchester United have a poor season, and in addition to their lack of attack, they are also full of holes at the back, conceding 48 goals after the first 32 games. Therefore, this summer, Manchester United must strengthen the back line in addition to strengthening the attack.
According to the latest news from Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have identified a favourite target, who is currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
Tapu Soba, a popular international player in Burkina Faso, is 25 years old this year and is in the prime of his professional career. He is 190CM tall and weighs 80KG, which can be said to be tall and physical, not only with first-class ability to compete for the top, but also with super confrontation ability. The data shows that Tapu Soba is very strong in various skills such as interception, steal, clearance, and anticipation of card positions.
It is worth mentioning that as the defensive iron gate of the Bundesliga champion team, Tapu Soba not only has impeccable defensive ability, but also has super attacking attributes in the front court. Statistics show that in the past 4 seasons, in addition to defending well at Bayer Leverkusen, Taptsoba has also contributed a total of 8 goals and 2 assists to the team, and it is not too much to say that he is a "defender with a knife" in the Bundesliga.
Therefore, if Manchester United can really sign this offensive and defensive defender this summer, it can be described as "killing two birds with one stone", which can not only greatly improve the stability of the team's defense, but also improve the team's frontcourt offensive efficiency to a certain extent. At present, Taptsoba is worth 40 million euros in the German transfer market, and if Bayer Leverkusen wants to sell, it will not be lower than this transfer price, or even higher.
However, Manchester United has always been good at money in the transfer market, so the transfer fee of 40 million euros is actually difficult for Manchester United. What really worries Manchester United is that Tapu Soba has become a "sweet spot" in the European transfer market, in addition to Manchester United, there are currently two European giants in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur and Ligue 1 Paris, who are worried about the popular international player of Burkina Faso.
Therefore, if Manchester United really wants to get this Bundesliga defender with a knife, in addition to being willing to spend money, it must also make a quick decision immediately, otherwise, it may be intercepted by other European giants at any time. Expect Manchester United to get the black and hard back gate as they wish.
