Manchester United are still in the game for the West Ham United midfielder
Manchester United are in the race for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, and are in talks with the player and his club. Fernandes is a promising young talent who has had a successful season at West Ham and is expected to be a valuable asset to any club.
In a recent interview with talkSPORT, journalist Ben Jacobs claimed that Manchester United are still in the race for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes. Jacobs said: "Manchester United are still in talks with the player as I recorded this, and with West Ham United. Tottenham are also in the game. There have been suggestions over the last 24-48 hours that this is a done deal at Spurs. That's not the case at the moment. Tottenham are in advanced talks with the player, Manchester United's talks with the player took place before Tottenham entered the race - and again, that could change very quickly. But as I was recording this, Fernandes is yet to decide which club he wants to choose - and there may be other clubs in the race as well. Remember that Arsenal and Spurs were both in the race a little earlier in the summer, before the transfer window opened, and Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid also value the player. But Manchester United are still in formal talks with West Ham, and what I feel is that both Man United and Spurs are waiting to get word from the player that he only wants to join one particular club - and then you are in. in a stronger position to negotiate with West Ham United.
Fernandes had a very good run at West Ham last season. He played 42 games last season, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists in all competitions. The 21-year-old is currently one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League. Therefore, Manchester United should try to sign this player in the summer. His current contract with the London club runs until the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him for a lower fee later this year. Fernandes works hard for his team defensively and can hit the ball with great power from distance. He also has the vision to play some decisive passes in the third zone of the pitch and is full of energy and dynamics in the central zone of the pitch. He is primarily a box-to-box midfielder, but can also play as a defensive midfielder or in the number ten position if needed. He's already quite familiar with the Premier League and wouldn't need much time to adapt to life at Old Trafford. In the long term, Fernandes would improve the quality of the midfield in Michael Carrick's Manchester United team. He is so good that he could fight for a place in the club's starting eleven next season. At 21 years old, the future looks bright for Fernandes. Therefore, Carrick should be more involved in acquiring this player in the current transfer window.
