Man United “conduct negotiations” about luring a £60 mιllιon ace away from Chelsea and Liverpool. He is Leo Messi’s favorite star.
Alexis Mac Allister, a star player for Brighton and Hove, has been the subject of internal conversations at Manchester United. The 24-year-old was a standout in the Premier League this year and contributed to Argentina’s World Cup victory in Qatar the previous year.
Erik ten Hag has helped United turn things around this season, and after moving up to third in the Premier League standings, they appear certain to return to the Champions League next year. Since taking over, Erik Ten Hag has spent enormous sums of money on a variety of players, but he will go back to the transfer market in the summer to assemble a team that can contend for additional trophies in the future.
The Red Devils have reportedly explored the possibility of acquiring Mac Allister, but it’s also important to keep an eye on Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea as the competition for the player’s services heats up, according to CBS Sports. While Mac Allister still has more than two years left on his current contract at the AMEX Stadium, Brighton might enable him to go for £60 million.
Having started six of Argentina’s seven World Cup games, Mac Allister was a key player for his nation. He provided an assist for Angel Di Maria in the championship game against France after scoring against Poland in the group stage.
Adam Lallana, the player’s Brighton teammate, even claimed that Mac Allister is a player Lionel Messi admires. At the World Cup, the former Liverpool star saw that one of his teammates in particular would go forward from midfield and take up a position higher up the pitch when Argentina’s Lionel Messi dropped deep and received the ball.
“In a similar vein, the same player will drop back in response to Lionel Messi’s high passes. On the field, they are on the same page, and Messi is always glad to pass the ball to him because he knows he will receive it back.
“That guy is my teammate at Brighton & Hove Albion, Alexis Mac Allister, and there aren’t many higher honors in football than Messi putting his faith in you, in my opinion. The highest kind of regard, it.
This summer, Mac Allister won’t lack choices when it comes to selecting his next club. And if United can land the star, he might give Ten Hag’s squad the o.f.f.e.n.s.i.v.e oomph and championship-game experience they need to once again contend for the Premier League crown.
Erik ten Hag has improved throughout his first year with Manchester United. Yet, Sunday’s defeat at Liverpool by what was probably his best squad showed there is still much work to be done to get the Red Devils back to their rightful place in the hearts of their supporters. Express Sport lists six problems that he must resolve both internally and during the transfer market.
At the top of the standings, United had been keeping up with both Arsenal and Manchester City, putting both teams in reach if one dropped points. United supporters were daydreaming about a possible quadruple after Marcus Rashford’s remarkable run of 10 league goals in as many games.
They sealed their first trophy since 2017 with a decisive Carabao Cup victory against Newcastle. And the United team seemed to believe that winning the Premier League was more than just a pipe dream.
Man United’s players have “talked about the chance of catching the top two,” the Daily Mail said.
But, that positive feeling quickly vanished after their humbling loss to Liverpool. According to reports, Erik Ten Hag ordered the away team’s dressing room to be silent to energize his teammates by listening to Liverpool’s celebrations.
