Manchester United ‘is said to be preparing to sign Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume, according to the Spanish outlet Signings.
The Red Devils have passed a Topsy-Turwy Start this season and gathered seven points of five games. Although Ruben Amorim’s side lost the opening match for Premier League against Arsenal, they showed signs of progression.
So there was optimism under the fan base. Since then, however, they have performed poorly against Fulham and Grimsby Town. Moreover, after he had been beaten by Manchester City, questions were asked about whether Amorim is the right man to make the club forward.
After the crucial victory over Chelsea last weekend, the Portuguese boss has breathing space. However, he will have to guide United to victory in the next two Premier League matches against Brentford and Sunderland to ward off more pressure.
In the meantime, Man Utd started exploring options to strengthen the midfield department in January. Initially it was thought that they would buy a new midfielder this summer, but in the end they chose not to do that.
Instead, they decided to revise the attacking department by signing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Now, Signings Indicate that man UTD wants a CDM to create stability and has identified Agoume as a serious option. Brighton star Carlos Baleba was the priority goal of United this summer, but they stand in line the Frenchman as a cheaper alternative option.
Agoume to man utd
The 23-year-old has left for three years in his current contract in Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, and the Spanish side wants about £ 26 million to leave him.
Financially, securing the deal should not be a problem for Man Utd, but buying agoume will not be easy because Brighton has registered their interest in him. Moreover, Arsenal was interested in him this summer before he signed Christian Norgaard from Brentford.
Agoume is a 6ft 2 in a long defensive midfielder, but is also comfortable in the box-to-box role. Since he came to the Spanish side of Inter Milan, the Frenchman has settled as an important player.
He is a very talented player and has a high potential. So he could be a smart acquisition for Man Utd if they buy it. However, it becomes interesting to see if the Old Trafford Club ultimately makes a concrete approach to secure its services in the coming winter window.
