Man United ‘identify’ long-term Bruno Fernandes replacement as £12.5m January transfer plan emerges

Manchester United look to be preparing for several transfer windows to come with a unique January opportunity also coming to light.

The Reds added senior arrivals Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Manuel Ugarte during the most recent summer transfer window.

Regarding departures from Old Trafford, Scott McTominay, Mason Greenwood, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were a few of the players that left, and it appears that preparations are already underway for the upcoming months.

Man United is now genuinely interested in Crystal Palace striker Eberechi Eze, and Angel Gomes is rumored to be making a spectacular comeback.

It’s not quite evident where the Reds need to improve first, but the match versus Palace might have shown us.

According to Italian outlet CalcioMercato, the Canada international is being looked at by Juventus and a deal could cost just £12.5million.

Given United’s struggles came to the forefront at Selhurst Park, it is a deal worth pursuing if that fee is accurate.

As David sees his contract expire in the summer of 2024, an exit being sanctioned at that price is entirely plausible with Lille keen to receive some funds from their star player.

While that move would arrive in the next few months, United also appear to be planning for the long-term with a potential Bruno Fernandes replacement being identified.

According to a report by Fussball.News, RB Salzburg star Oscar Gloukh has admirers at United with the view that he could be the successor to Fernandes.

The United captain turned 30 earlier this month and therefore it makes sense for United to be looking bringing in a replacement.

Their report also adds that other Premier League clubs are interested and thus United may have to act quickly if they wish to bring in the 20-year-old Israel international
