manchester united He could reportedly look to sign Leicester City star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer, according to the transfer journalist Ben Jacobs.
It has been suggested that, having endured a terrible campaign this season, the Red Devils will remain busy in the next window to strengthen their squad and turn their fortunes around next campaign.
speaking in GiveMeSport, Jacobs have reported that Man Utd are prioritizing strengthening their front line, but the Red Devils could also look to sign a new midfielder if they capitalize on any of the current options.
The journalist also states that United are interested in Dewsbury-Hall and could formalize their interest in the next window. But, Jacobs claims the 25-year-old is not the only option on the Red Devils' wish list, with Wolverhampton Wanderers star Joao Gomes also on their radar.
Dewsbury-Hall to Man Utd
Jacobs said:
“You have to be clear that the priority position at Manchester United from now on and things can change, but right now he is a striker. The midfield and defense will determine who will go and how much funds will come in. Joao Gomes and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are two possibilities in that midfield position. The advantage of both is that they have first division experience.
“Gomes is playing well for Wolves and Dewsbury-Hall is in excellent form for Leicester after scoring 11 goals and providing 13 assists in the Championship. He is left-footed and can play in defensive midfield, midfield or attacking midfield. “Manchester United are in the early stages of putting together a shortlist.”
It has been suggested that Leicester would cash in on Dewsbury-Hall if they receive an offer. of around £40 million so the record Premier League champions will have to spend a considerable amount of money to acquire the Englishman's service this summer.
The Leicester star is a talented player and could be a shrewd signing for Man Utd if they buy him. However, the midfielder does not have much experience playing at the highest level, so there are doubts over whether he would be the right choice to help Man Utd achieve their lofty ambitions.
Therefore, Man Utd would be better off exploring other options to strengthen their midfield department in the upcoming transfer window.
