French giants set to make huge bid for this Manchester United player
By Bence Bocsak
According to the latest reports, Paris Saint Germain could make a huge bid for this current Manchester United player ahead of the summer transfer window.
Football is unpredictable. As Manchester United fans will be well aware. A decade ago no one could have predicted how mightily the Red Devils would fall following Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign.
Alas, the club has struggled to recapture that same domination and the impressive attacking football which made them one of the most feared sides in the world.
The club has gone from winning one trophy after another to now lingering in the shadows of their arch rivals.
Manchester City and Liverpool have superseded United’s place at the pinnacle of English football.

Yet Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to return the Red Devils back to where they belong. The Norwegian coach who enjoyed a tremendous amount of success with the club during the reign of Ferguson for over a decade, wants to emulate his former boss.
It is a mighty task. One that will take time. Following Liverpool’s demise, the Merseyside based club lingered in the abyss for almost thirty years.
United will not want to repeat the mistakes of their rivals.
One of the things which made Ferguson the best manager in the world was his ability to perpetually build squads capable of competing and challenging for the Premier League title. The Scotsman had an innate sense to know which player should be brought in and which player should be sold.
It is an ingenious trait to have in football.
And it is one Ole Gunnar Solskjaer desperately needs as he looks to build his very own United squad. The Norwegian needs to be ruthless and decide which players he needs and which players he doesn’t.
Diogo Dalot might fall into the latter category. The Portuguese right back arrived with much promise but he has fallen out of favour and has struggled to fight himself into the starting eleven.
Now French giants Paris Saint Germain are purportedly interested in the right back.
And according to Portuguese outlet O Jogo via the Metro, United will demand a hefty £35 million for the services of Diogo Dalot from Paris Saint Germain.
That could mean the French club could be set to make a huge bid for Solskjaer’s player. With Aaron Wan-Bissaka clearly the better option at the back, you can bet your money that if PSG do come knocking for Diogo Dalot, Solskjaer will not refuse them.
Whether that will be the right decision, remains to be seen.
Do you think United should keep or sell Diogo Dalot?
