After seemingly failing to land top transfer target Frenkie de Jong in the ongoing window, Manchester United shifted their attention to other alternatives. One name to pop out was Bianconeri central midfielder Rabiot. The 27-year-old has played 397 games for club and country, winning a whopping 24 trophies.
Macari, however, insists that the player has not done anything of note and therefore has never heard of Rabiot’s name. The fact that there were no other significant parties interested in a transfer for the Manchester United target worries the MUFC pundit. He said, via TEAMtalk:
He added:
The Guardian reported that the Old Trafford outfit have agreed a £15 million initial deal with Juventus for their player. The transfer now hinges on an agreement on personal terms with Rabiot and his mother Veronique, who is also his agent.
Further, the former Manchester United midfielder is skeptical about the deal because no other Premier League club has tried swooping in for the Frenchman.
Manchester United want to sign back-up goalkeeper to De Gea
According to 90min, Erik ten Hag is interested in bringing a goalkeeper to Old Trafford this summer to play back-up to first-choice David de Gea. Southampton’s Alex McCarthy is on the shortlist and the Red Devils could make a move before the transfer window concludes.
Since joining the Saints in 2017, McCarthy has been Southampton’s first-choice goalkeeper. Last season, he suffered an injury which saw him miss a significant chunk of the season, but the 32-year-old is still effective between the posts. Manchester United only have Tom Heaton as De Gea’s cover at present and signing the Southampton goalkeeper would make a lot of sense.
The 32-year-old has played 141 Premier League games till date, keeping 29 clean sheets in them.
