Man United showing interest in City midfielder
According to James Ducker, the Red Devils are showing interest in James McAtee. They are joined by multiple clubs across whole Europe. In England the player is looked upon by Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. In contrast, he is wanted by AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen outside England.
The report further stated that Leverkusen will make a move for McAtee if City opt to sign Florian Wirtz from them. Similarly, Forest will move for him if the Sky Blues sign Morgan Gibbs-White. Lastly, McAtee will enter the final year of his contract this summer.
McAtee mainly plays as an attacking midfielder. But, he is also effective as right winger. He is 22 years old and hence will be looked as long-term investment. This season, he has played 25 games so far for City and has scored 7 goals.
Man United are keeping tabs on McAtee but he is not their top priority. They are keen to sign Matheus Cunha for this role and are already very close to sign him. It will be interesting to see if they are able to close the deal in coming days.
