Among Juventus's exchange suggestions in the Jadon Sancho case, Dusan Vlahovic is the name that has many points suitable for MU. The Serbian striker is the number 9 form that Amorim searched for a tall physique, strong physical strength and quite comprehensive finishing. So should MU lock?
After Chelsea decided to pay a fine of 5 million pounds to give up the obligation to buy Sancho, the British winger became a problem to be solved at Old Trafford. According to some comments on the comment section of Manchester Evening News, Man United can take advantage of Sancho as part of the deals with Juventus this summer instead of trying to sell.
Sancho in exchange for Vlahovic, Weah or Luiz?
The top goal of Man United this summer is to rebuild the attacking attack. And no one is “inviolable”, especially Sancho – who has not met the expectations since being bought for £ 73 million from Dortmund in 2021.
Juventus is said to be interested in Sancho and can be ready to come up with one of their stars. The three players who were exchanged by the Old Lady were striker Dusan Vlahovic, winger Timothy Weah or midfielder Douglas Luiz.
Striker Dusan Vlahovic was a prominent striker at Fiorentina with 17 goals after 21 matches in Serie A before moving to Juventus. Although he could not maintain his peak performance in Turin, he was still considered a reliable striker.
Another name mentioned is Timothy Weah, a young American player who can play the border or Wing-back. However, coach Ruben Amorim – who is shaping the long -term strategy for MU – may not give priority to adding winger.
Douglas Luiz – former Aston Villa pillar midfielder – is also a name that is considered to be suitable for Man United thanks to the comprehensive defense ability in midfield, good support for Bruno Fernandes. Even so, his historical history was still what made many fans wonder.
What do the fans say about these exchange options?
A fans named Verdad commented: “Douglas Luiz is an excellent talent, can bring a solid presence to the middle line. But he has been playing for 111 days and misses 20 matches in the 2024/25 season because of muscle injuries and hamstrings. Wish him luck and ignore it.”
The user named JustifiaBly Socptical said: “Luiz is still acceptable, but I'm not very excited. Vlahovic is always eliminated.
Bestietom fans made a bold suggestion: “Exchange Sancho for Vlahovic, then try to change Hojlund to get Luiz. The two of them left, the two of them are too reasonable. Vlahovic can be a teacher for Obi, and Luiz, Ugarte and Mainoo compete with Bruno.
The Steady Irwin account is careful: “I used to borrow Vlahovic in January to help the team climb high on the rankings and have the opportunity to win the trophy. But if you look in the long run, with the salary, the ability to support defense (even the striker, sometimes he still has to press), and the wall skill is not really suitable.
Frustrated fans targeted Weah: “Weah doesn't have to choose a bad choice. He used to play Wing-back a lot, but now Mazraoui is considered a right-defending center, and Dalot is not good at supporting attacks. Weah can be a good swivel, low-wage, low-injury.”
Pebbles7 concluded definitely: “I will take both Luiz and Vlahovic. Please exchange Sancho for both. If Juventus wants to add more money, just consider it.
MU should choose vlahovic
After analysis through 3 options, it seems that Vlahovic is the optimal plan. In Juventus, he may not explode as expected, but the reason comes from many reasons such as the coach's squad arrangement or choice, not really because Vlahovic himself is not good enough.
Moreover, MU does not need Vlahovic to create communication effects. They need someone who can carry the attack, kick or rotate with Hojlund, who is still perfecting themselves. If Vlahovic comes, it is not only to add force, but also a way to reduce the pressure on Hojlund, and bring more tactical plans to Amorim.
The current MU problem is not lacking a good striker, but the lack of striker with bravery, knowing to score in big matches, taking advantage of opportunities in the penalty area and sufficiently enough to face pressure. Vlahovic may not be perfect, but in exchange for a Sancho no future at Old Trafford is the deal that MU should nod without hesitation.
Many people exchange people in the past are compromise. But Vlahovic changes Sancho may be the definitive that both clubs need. MU will have the striker they lack, Juventus has a new attack weapon to refresh the attack, and Sancho finally has the opportunity to find himself. Sometimes, a breakup at the right time is the first step for both sides.
