Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has had an impressive campaign with the Eagles and Manchester United are looking to sign the player at the end of the season.
A report from GiveMeSport claims that Manchester United have concrete interest in the former Chelsea defender and they are hoping to tie up a deal for him in the coming weeks.
Rudy Galetti said: “The excellent season of Marc Guéhi at Crystal Palace has attracted, for sure, interest from many European clubs. And at the moment, the most concrete one is Manchester United, the team that is monitoring him more closely and that are planning at least two incoming moves to strengthen in the defence in the summer.”
The 22-year-old is a tremendous talent with a big future ahead of him as he has already established himself as a promising Premier League defender. He is likely to improve with coaching and experience and he has the attributes to develop into a top-class player for club and country.
Manchester United will have to bring in defensive reinforcements this summer, especially if players like Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof leave the club this summer. Both players have fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and they could look to seek an exit in order to play more often.
Guehi has the ability to start for a top club like Manchester United and he could form a quality partnership alongside Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
Erik ten Hag could help the 22-year-old improve further. The Dutch manager has a proven track record of nurturing talented young players, and he helped a number of players improve during his time at Ajax.
The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world could prove to be hard to turn down for the 22-year-old defender and he could look to take the next step in his career with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
Manchester United certainly have the financial means to convince Crystal Palace to sell the defender this summer and it remains to be seen how the situation involves.
Guehi has been linked with other Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham as well and Manchester United should look to move swiftly in order to beat the competition and secure his signature. Liverpool should be bringing an upgrade on players like Joel Matip and Tottenham must look to sign a reliable partner for Cristian Romero. Guehi would be a solid acquisition for all three English clubs.
The Red Devils have made it to the Champions League and the 22-year-old will be excited about the prospect of playing european football with them. Erik ten Hag helped Manchester United win the English League Cup as well and the Red Devils will now look to finish the season on a high by winning the FA Cup final against archrivals Manchester City.
