Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Manchester United are actively pursuing young Brazilian talents to bolster their squad. The club’s scouts have been monitoring 17-year-old Palmeiras midfielder Luis Guilherme, who has already made 22 appearances for his club and has been called up to Brazil’s under-20 national team. Additionally, United are tracking Flamengo’s 17-year-old midfielder Lorran, who scored on his senior debut and has a โฌ50 million release clause.
In other transfer news, Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign left-back Patrick Dorgu from Lecce for an initial ยฃ29 million, with an additional ยฃ4 million in achievable add-ons. The 20-year-old Danish defender is expected to join the squad immediately, potentially impacting the futures of current left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Furthermore, United’s winger Antony is reportedly close to joining Real Betis on loan until the end of the season. The Brazilian forward has struggled to meet expectations since his ยฃ86 million move to Old Trafford, and a loan spell in Spain could provide him with the opportunity to regain form.
These developments come as Manchester United seek to strengthen their squad following a challenging season that led to the dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag. Fans are hopeful that these strategic moves will revitalize the team’s performance in the upcoming season.
