According to the sources in the UK, MuDhang consider recruiting goalkeeper Nick Pope from Newcastle United and make a surprise proposal to change Alejandro Garnacho to take Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa.
Nick Pope is currently the number one choice of Newcastle but his future is being questioned after Choi Chu Mo successfully recruited Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton on loan.
With the presence of Ramsdale, Pope may lose its position and will start to consider leaving the club. MU, in the context of Andre Onana has not shown the stability as expected, is to keep an eye on the England goalkeeper as an experienced supplement, ready to compete for the main capture.
Pope is 32 years old, and a contract with Newcastle until 2026 and has 10 captures of the Three Lions. Having good reflexes, hand -catching and experienced in the Premier League, he is considered to be consistent with the requirements of coach Ruben Amorim in the context that MU wants to enhance the depth of the squad without spending too hard.
In the opposite direction, MU's attack still needs a classy striker to divide the fire with Rasmus Hojlund. In the context of the transfer budget limited by financial justice (PSR), MU is said to have made a bold proposal: Change Alejandro Garnacho to take Ollie Watkins, the main goalscorer of Aston Villa. Watkins last season scored 19 goals in the Premier League and was a key factor that helped Villa win tickets to the Champions League.
This proposal is creative, but it is controversial. Garnacho is a product of MU Academy, has great development potential and a new hope of the Old Trafford. However, the use of young players in exchange for a famous star can help MU save most of the cash in the transaction, thereby reducing financial pressure.
However, Aston Villa has no intention of selling Watkins and still considers him as a center in the long -term plan. The possibility of the deal is still open and depends on the next development in the market.
