Manchester United have been in the hunt for a defensive midfielder for a long time now. They were expected to add there in the summer but ultimately did not end up doing so, which in hindsight, appears to have been a huge mistake. Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic have featured most frequently in the middle of the park as a result.
There are questions over the performances of McTominay and Fred in the defensive midfield position, and while Matic was indeed considered one of the best there during his prime in the Premier League, he is now 33 years of age and no longer as good as he once was.
In all, it means that the Red Devils are is need of reinforcements in the said position. And Inter Milan’s Marcelo Brozovic is one of the players who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford over the last few months.
And as reported by Tuttosport (via Sport Witness), there is a long queue of clubs interested in the midfielder who have made their interest known. Manchester United are believed to be one of them.
Manchester United are believed to be interested in Brozovic
Brozovic’s current deal with Inter Milan is set to run out in the summer of 2022 and naturally, he is believed to be looking for improved terms.
With Brozovic set to become a free agent in the summer of 2022 if he does not end up extending his deal with Inter Milan, Manchester United are believed to be very interested at the prospect of signing one of the best defensive midfielders in the world on a free transfer.
Brozovic could prove to be a crucial signing for the Red Devils, if they can get a deal over the line in the future. Of course, there is expected to be a lot of competition for his signature.
