Manchester United are reportedly interested in Barcelona winger Ansu Fati but need to wait a while for a decision on his future.
According to a report from Spanish publication SPORT, Manchester United are now waiting to find out whether Spanish international Ansu Fati is keen on moving away from Barcelona at the end of the season.
Ansu Fati is highly rated around Spain. But his development has stalled because of injury problems. The 20-year-old has lost his starting berth and is a squad player for Xavi Hernandez now.
A player of his ability needs to play more often, and it remains to be seen whether Barcelona are prepared to provide him with those opportunities. According to reports, the player’s agent Jorge Mendes has had discussions with Joan Laporta regarding the future of his client. The two parties have decided to take a definitive decision at the end of the season.
Fati wants to play regularly in order to get back to his best. But Barcelona have been using him as a squad player this season. And the young prospect’s situation has captured the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Manchester United.
It seems that Manchester United are prepared to provide him with an exit route at the end of the season. And he would get to play more often at Old Trafford. However, it seems that the player’s priority is to remain at Barcelona if they can provide him with first-team assurances. The situation will be clearer at the end of the season, and Manchester United now face a long wait to discover the decision of the player.
Fati has all the attributes to develop into a world-class player, and Manchester United could certainly use someone like him in their attacking unit. The youngster can play in wide areas as well as centrally. He will add pace, flair and goals to the Manchester United attack if the Red Devils secure his services.
Barcelona are currently going through financial difficulties and the Blaugrana should look to cash in on the player if they are not prepared to offer him regular football. Fati cannot afford to sit on the bench and Barcelona every week, and he needs to consider his future at the Spanish club in the summer.
