Man United join Arsenal in transfer race as they eye swoop for £27m-rated RB Salzburg star in January as Erik Ten Hag continues Rebuild -Report

According to Fussball News, Manchester United is planning a triple takeover of RB Salzburg’s Samson Baidoo, Oscar Gloukh, and Adam Daghim. The team has already scouted the players this season.

Throughout the previous few seasons, Salzburg has been a talent pool that has produced some of the best prospects in European football, and Baidoo, Gloukh, and Daghim are no different.

Man United is reportedly considering making a move to lure them to Old Trafford after being drawn to their performances for the Red Bulls.

Fussball News, citing HITC, claims that although Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United are among the teams vying for Baidoo’s signature, United is still very interested in him.

The report further adds that the Red Devils are also monitoring the development of 20-year-old attacking midfielder Oscar Gloukh, who is being considered as ‘one of the options’ to become the successor to club captain Bruno Fernandes, who recently turned 30.

The 13-time Premier League champions are also looking to reinforce their right-wing options and have set their sights on Salzburg’s 18-year-old forward Adam Daghim, who has caught the eye of United scouts, according to the report.

Gloukh and Baidoo, whose contracts at the Red Bull Arena will run until 2027, are valued at €25m (£20m) and €8m (£6m) by Transfermarkt, respectively, while Daghim’s contract extends until 2028, with a valuation of €2m (£1m) by Transfermarkt.

It’s fair to say that Erik ten Hag’s side had a positive transfer window where they addressed key areas of their squad, particularly in defence.

The club are now focused on bringing some of the brightest young talents to Old Trafford and have already secured the signings of 18-year-old Sekou Kone from Guidars FC, and 17-year-old Samuel Lusale, and James Overy from Crystal Palace, and Perth Glory, respectively.

There’s growing optimism about the club’s future, and they’re not relenting efforts, as they now have their sights set on Salzburg’s trio of Daghim, Gloukh, and Baidoo.

The trio are regulars for Pepijn Lijnders’ side and have already gained valuable top-flight experience in both European and domestic competitions, which would be an advantage if the club secures their transfers
