Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign former Aston Villa winger Anwar El Ghazi, currently a free agent.
A report from Daily Telegraph has claimed that Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Anwar El Ghazi. The former Aston Villa and Everton winger is currently a free agent after terminating his contract with PSV Eindhoven.
El Ghazi has played in the Premier League in the past, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils could definitely use more attacking reinforcements, especially with the issues surrounding Jadon Sancho and Antony.
While Sancho has been largely underwhelming and has been dropped for the big games so far, Antony is mired in off-the-pitch issues, and the Brazilian has been given some time off. And both players face an uncertain future at Manchester United due to their problems.
Manchester United will be hoping to compete for the league title and do well in the UEFA Champions League this season. But for that, ten Hag needs quality in depth in order to do well across multiple competitions and it remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right reinforcements.
While El Ghazi might be an underwhelming addition for the Manchester United fans, he will add more depth to the side and give the Manchester United manager more options to work with. The 28-year-old will be tempted to join a big club like Manchester United. And the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer makes it a no-risk move for the Premier League side as well.
While the transfer might represent a gamble, it has potential upside. So, the Red Devils should look to get the deal done. The 28-year-old is used to English football and will be expected to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact at Old Trafford.
