Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Turkish winger Yunus Akgun, who has drawn comparisons to Arda Guler.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Yunus Akgun is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a right-sided winger ahead of the two transfers windows next year. The Galatasaray attacker has thus emerged as a target, with the 24-year-old drawing comparisons to his compatriot and Real Madrid prodigy, Arda Guler.
Yunus Akgun has established himself as one of the best players in his homeland in the last few years. A native of Istanbul, the Turk has been with Galatasaray since his youth career began, spending his formative years with the Super Lig giants before breaking into their first-team squad.
The 24-year-old made his first-team bow for Galatasaray at the onset of the 2018/19 season but needed a few loan spells before establishing a foothold in the senior setup at the RAMS Park. Akgun has been solid thus far this season, amassing six goals and one assist in 15 appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Akgun’s progress in the last few years have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Reports a few years ago heavily linked Liverpool with the Turkish international. The Turkish international has emerged on the wishlist of Manchester United.
Manchester United’s interest in Yunus Akgun is understandable. The right-wing berth has been the biggest problem area for Manchester United in the last few seasons. They have spent a lot of money to fix the issues, but Antony and Jadon Sancho have been expensive flops for them in recent seasons.
