Manchester United follows Real Sociedad midfielder MartÃn Zubimendi.
Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of Zubimendi and the United manager admires the player very much.
This is according to Mundo Deportivo via SportWitness, who reports that Ten Hag is keen on Zubimendi coming to Old Trafford amid links to Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
“The 23-year-old [Zubimendi] he is highly regarded and has recently been linked with a move to Barcelona, ​​where Xavi is known to be a huge fan and wants him as the long-term successor to Sergio Busquets.
“However, they are not the only interested party, as Mundo reports that Manchester United and Chelsea are also ‘on the lookout’ for the player.”
“The player’s ‘sensational campaign’ has not gone unnoticed by the Premier League duo and Manchester United in particular are following suit.”
Ten Hag would be keen for the Spaniard to come in and position himself alongside Casemiro in the middle of the park for the Red Devils.
United’s interest comes hand in hand with the impressive campaign that the player is currently experiencing at Sociedad, the team that United faced in the group stage of the Europa League.
Sociedad are said to be very confident in keeping the midfielder in January and even beyond the summer.
Zubimendi’s current contract at Spanish clubs runs until 2027.
It has a termination clause of 60 million euros. The player’s release clause is said to be a big deterrent for Barcelona, ​​who cannot afford to pay the amount.
In this regard, United have an advantage over the Catalan giants, but a likely deal would have to wait until the summer if Ten Hag decided to continue his admiration.
