Manchester United have made a big transfer splash this summer
Manchester United's large-scale move in this summer's transfer window is becoming an undercurrent in the Premier League transfer market. After the old giants suffered a Waterloo-like defeat last season, new manager Erik ten Hag has vowed to completely rebuild the team. To achieve this, strengthening the midfield is undoubtedly a top priority.
Transfer goals
On Manchester United's list of transfer targets, Leicester City's midfield stalwart Kiernan DiEusbury-Hall is undoubtedly the top candidate. The 24-year-old England midfielder has become the brain and leader of the Fox midfield with his excellent dribbling ability, excellent vision and tenacious tackling. His outstanding performances in the Premier League last season also made him a coveted target of major clubs.
Transfer fees
According to authoritative media, in order to recruit the midfielder into their ranks, Manchester United is ready to go all out and contribute a sky-high transfer fee of up to 40 million pounds. The high transfer fee is enough to show how seriously the Red Devils value Diusbury-Hall. However, for Manchester United, which has a family of trillions, this fee is also a drop in the bucket.
The reason for the transfer
Leicester City are in a precarious financial situation and they may be forced to sell players by 30 June to avoid being accused by the Premier League of breaching financial fair play rules. As a Academy product for the Blue Foxes, DeEwingsbury-Hall is undoubtedly one of the easiest chips to sell.
Valued at £30 million, Diyousbury-Hall is a pretty good deal for Manchester United. The midfielder's quality is undoubtedly worth the price, and at his young age, the prospects for development are limitless.
Last season, Manchester United's midfield was overwhelmed, Casemiro, McTominay and other midfield cores have left one after another, and new signing Alex Lamela has not yet fully mastered the Premier League, and the shortcomings of the midfield are obvious. The introduction of DeEusbury-Hall is undoubtedly the best reinforcement.
Other details
According to Manchester United scouts, they believe the £40 million price tag for Dieusbury Hall is a great value for money. The England international's value will only rise in the coming years.
It was also previously reported that Manchester United were interested in signing Leicester City's other midfielder, Youri Tielemans, for £40 million. Over time, though, this rumour has become obsolete, and United's interest has fully shifted to Diusesbury-Hall.
