Manchester United are keen on acquiring the services of Inter Milan attacking sensation Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Manchester United look set to secure Champions League football for next season. While the focus is to ensure they get the job done, the Red Devils have already started planning for the summer transfer window. They are drawing up plans for potential signings, and bringing in a new centre-forward is quite high on their agenda.
According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are interested in the services of Ange-Yoan Bonny. The French youth international has taken his game to the next level since joining Inter Milan, and his performances have placed him on the radar of the Red Devils.
After making a name for himself at Parma, Bonny made the move to Inter last summer. In his debut campaign for the Italian giants, he has been involved in 37 matches. While he has racked up just over 1,200 minutes, the 21-year-old has 14 goal contributions (7 goals, 7 assists).
Not only are those impressive numbers, but he has also shown maturity beyond his years, which has placed him on the wishlist of the European giants, and Manchester United are one of them. The Red Devils seek more competition in the final third.
Why Manchester United want to sign Bonny?
They believe Bonny could provide direct competition to Benjamin Sesko in the final third. Since he is only 22, he could be a great acquisition for both the short and long run. He has a strong physical presence, pace, as well as the knack of being at the right place at the right time.
In simple terms, the French forward has all the qualities that the United sporting management is looking for in a young striker. He is currently valued at €35 million, which means the Red Devils can certainly afford to strike a deal for him.
While United’s interest is quite serious, securing his services won’t be that straightforward, as there is fierce competition and Inter won’t let go of one of their most valuable assets without a fight. Bonny’s desire could help their cause, as being an important part of United’s rebuild could tempt him.
