Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 23-year-old French midfielder Khephren Thuram in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from HITC, Manchester United recently sent scouts to watch 23-year-old French midfielder Khephren Thuram in action for OGC Nice against RC Strasbourg in a Ligue 1 match.
Manchester United owners INEOS own the Ligue 1 club, and it is fair to assume that the mutual connection between the two outfits could help facilitate a potential move in the summer. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
The 23-year-old midfielder has established himself as one of the best young prospects in French football, and he could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for Manchester United. He has been linked with Liverpool in the past.
It is no secret that the Red Devils need to bring in a quality central midfielder at the end of the season, and Thuram seems like the ideal fit. He will add control, composure, defensive cover, and creativity to the Manchester United midfield. Players like Sofyan Amrabat and Casemiro have been quite underwhelming this season. So, the Red Devils need to bring in a quality midfielder at the end of the season.
Khephren Thuram would be the ideal acquisition for them, and he could form a superb partnership with Kobbie Mainoo for the long run. Manchester United will have to improve their engine room if they want to do well next season and push for Champions League qualification.
Khephren Thuram could fancy Man United move
The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be an attractive proposition for the midfielder as well. The 23-year-old has proven himself in Ligue 1, and he could look to take the next step in his development. Regular football in England could help him improve further, and he is likely to be keen on a move to Old Trafford.
Manchester United certainly have the financial muscle to convince OGC Nice. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Manchester United have had a disappointing season by their standards, and they are set to miss out on European qualification for the next season. A club of their stature is expected to compete in the Champions League regularly and push for trophies.
They must look to address the weaknesses in their squad during the summer transfer window, and signing a quality midfielder should be one of their priorities. The Frenchman has all the attributes to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and he could prove to be a solid long-term investment for Manchester United.
