Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won’t be going after Kai Havertz in this summer’s transfer window.
Manchester United won’t be going after Kai Havertz when the transfer window reopens at the end of the season. Mostly, because of the player’s £90million asking price. But, also, because they’ve already signed a substantial upgrade in the form of Bruno Fernandes.
Normally, Manchester United would be keen to compete with Chelsea for the signing of Havertz this transfer window.
After all, the club have long aspired to have the best young talent at Old Trafford and the Germany international certainly fits the bill.
United, however, have decided against going after the 21-year-old.
That’s for a number of reasons. Partly because, with an asking price of £90m, he’s simply too expensive for them at the current time.
Secondly, because the money United already have they’d prefer to be spend on prising Jadon Sancho away from Borussia Dortmund.
And thirdly, because of Fernandes.
United have already signed an upgrade in the 25-year-old, who has sparkled in the short time since his move from Sporting Lisbon back in the January transfer window.
He has instantly turned a side who were looking mediocre at best into a team who now have legitimate reason to dream of Premier League title glory next season.
Before he moved to Old Trafford, the Portugal international was enjoying a terrific campaign in the Primeira Liga with Sporting.
He scored eight league goals from 17 matches before he departed, registering seven assists along the way.
