Man United are showing strong interest to sign Argentine wonderkid this summer. They are planning to trigger his release clause which is set at around £38 million.
Manchester United are surely going to make some key changes this summer. They are having a very tough season right now. As of now, they are on 14th position in Premier League. This means they will only be able to play in Europe if they win Europa League.
Ruben Amorim will be backed by the club to bring in players of his choice. But, the club will also focus on selling current stars. This will help the club to open up space and most importantly raise funds. It won’t be easy to sign new players without selling big names due to tough financial situation at Old Trafford.
There will be mass exodus in the attacking department. Amorim wants a new striker and a new winger. Hence, all Zirkzee, Hojlund, Sancho, Rashford, Antony and Garnacho are linked with exit. Some of them are already on loan away from Old Trafford.
Man United keen to sign Argentine wonderkid
The star in question here is Franco Mastantuono of River Plate. According to Martin Lipton, the Red Devils are planning to sign him this summer. They are considering to trigger his release clause which is set at £38 million.
Mastantuono is only 17 years old but is regular first-team member for River Plate. He can play as both attacking midfielder and winger. Last season, he played 42 games and was able to score 3 goals along with picking 3 assists.
This season, he has played 11 games so far and has already equalled last season’s goal-scoring tally. He has scored 3 goals and picked 2 assists and has surely levelled up. Once he turns 18, he is almost surely going to land in Europe.
