According to the latest reports, Premier League giants Manchester United are on red alert to sign Atletico Madrid’s star midfielder Saul Niguez in the upcoming winter transfer window.
After a relatively slow start to the campaign, United are picking up the pace as some of the results have been favoring the red side of Manchester.
But even Solskjaer and the fans are aware that there is a heavy rebuilding that needs to be done over the course of the season if the fallen giants are to fight for a spot in the European competitions next season.
If Manchester United is unable to qualify for the continental tournaments, it will be difficult for them to purchase players in the summer and even ace French midfielder Paul Pogba would choose to play his football elsewhere.
The 26-year-old World Cup winner has been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu to join La Liga giants Real Madrid and if he does so, United must replace him with another world-class player.
And Solskjaer has been keeping tabs on Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez as the Spaniard is linked with a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano. Saul is capable of playing anywhere in the midfield line or even as a second striker and Solskjaer has been impressed with the playmaker.
However, United are in the hunt to sign Saul mainly because reports stated that Atletico Madrid have dropped their asking price from £125 million to £85 million and that could be a big boost for even other clubs around the continent to push for his signature.
