No matter how Ten Hag says he has won every season at Manchester United, having a name is always a pain in his mind. The €100 million right winger Antony remains the most powerful weapon in attacks on the 54-year-old Netherlands coach. While Ten Hag insists the price and wages are not his responsibility, it was he who recommended and insisted on the club signing the 24-year-old Brazil international.
Ten Hag is said to want United to sign Bayern Munich's Morocco full-back Mazraoui, who is partnering Antony on the right side of Ajax, in order to "save" Antony. Ten Hag hopes Mazraoui can help Antony make the most of his ability in the Eredivisie. That way, even if it still doesn't reach 100 million euros, it can at least become a qualified Red Devils player.
Mazraoui left Ajax in the same year as Ten Hag's tenure at Manchester United and joined Bayern Munich, but he was unable to secure a place in the main team. Now, Bayern are interested in selling him, and Old Trafford is his potential next stop. The Times reports that Mazraoui and Antony have combined well on the right during their time at Ajax, with Ten Hag believing the full-back's presence could improve Antony's performance.
Of course, if he joins Manchester United, Mazraoui will only be a substitute, and United's main right-back will be the next captain Diogu · Darlow. But that doesn't matter because Anthony is also a substitute and they can play together in some games. Bayern have set a price tag of around €25 million for Mazraoui, while Manchester United believe that €15 million is more reasonable, and perhaps €20 million would be a price that both parties are satisfied with.
United are not looking to renew the contract of 26-year-old England right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has only one year left on his contract, so he could leave this summer, and if that happens, a right-back is inevitable. In addition to Mazraoui, Brazil's Vanderson of Ligue 1 Monaco has also become the protagonist of rumors. Sky Sports United Kingdom says Manchester United have been scouting him for a long time.
The 23-year-old is known as Wonderson· De· Oliveira · Campos, a son of Brazil Gremio who is known for his incredible speed and is known as the "New Cafu", which can increase the attacking ability of the wings. Renowned scout Antonio · Mango said: "Vanderson is an attacking right-back who is only 173cm tall and very unique for a wing-back. He has lightning speed and explosiveness, and his athleticism, energy, technique and physia are all incredible. He played as a full-back, full-back and right winger at Monaco, but it didn't make much of a difference to his game, no matter where he was in the position.'
Statistics show that last season Wandsson scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 20 Ligue 1 games. The scouting report continued: "Vanderson is known for his attacking prowess, strength and physicality, but what stands out most is his speed, with the Brazil running from the flanks and almost fearlessly breaking through the opponent's line. Vandersen caused a lot of problems for his opponents and was able to beat them with or without the ball. When he has the ball, his technique is very good and his ability to dribble at breakneck speed is amazing."
In fact, Manchester United were rumoured to be with Wonderson last year. But his price will be a big hurdle for a transfer, with Monaco being last season's Ligue 1 runners-up and qualifying for the Champions League for the next season, so there is no financial pressure to sell the player, who are asking for at least £30 million.
In addition, Wandesong's contract runs until 2028 and there is no termination clause. Although Germany Transfermarkt only values him at 20 million euros, this price will certainly not be bought, because Monaco has spent 11 million euros to sign him. Manchester United have had some conversations with Monaco involving wing-back Wandsson and defender Youssef · Fofana, but there have been no more substantive actions.
In the wing-back position, Manchester United were also revealed to be interested in former Chelsea defenders Marcos · Alonso this week, United Kingdom the Daily Mirror said that Alonso, who left Barcelona this month to return to free agency, is on Manchester United's left wing-back shortlist alongside Feyenoord's David · Hanko and Trick · Mitchell, who have a year left on his contract with Crystal Palace.
