Man Utd Could Sign ‘Incredible’ Midfielder After Move Gets Green Light This Summer Transfer -Reports
Manager of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Hayden Hackney, a Middlesbrough star who missed out on promotion to the Premier League, will be given the opportunity to try again once Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is able to entice him to Old Trafford.
After missing out on trophies and European qualification, the Red Devils are determined to make more squad changes.
They took advantage of the first 10-day transfer window by completing the acquisition of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, activating the £62.5 million release clause in his contract.
Bryan Mbeumo is firmly in Manchester United’s sights as a potential arrival, with plans being made to table a second bid worth in excess of £60million after already having a £55million proposal rejected by Premier League counterparts Brentford, and Amorim is also toying with the idea of diving into the Championship for reinforcements.
Manchester United target Hackney will be allowed to leave Middlesbrough ahead of next season, according to GMS sources, but Amorim is being forced to contend with stiff competition and will have to wait until after the Under-21 European Championships before discovering his price tag.
Although there have been suggestions that the central midfielder is valued at £20million by his current employers, shining on the international stage would result in there being more lucrative demands when the Red Devils and other interested parties come calling for his signature.
GMS sources have been informed that Hackney’s performances for the England under-21 side will be used by Middlesbrough to determine what they should hold out for after he enjoyed another productive campaign at the Riverside Stadium, meaning that Manchester United are being forced to remain patient ahead of potentially pouncing.
Hayden Hackney’s statistics for Middlesbrough this season
The 22-year-old has been described as ‘incredible’ thanks to his consistent performances for Boro and, with Amorim in the market for fresh options in the middle of the park, he has worked his way onto the Portuguese tactician’s radar as he prepares for his first full season in charge of the Red Devils.
Middlesbrough have given Hackney the green light to seal a move away from Teesside, GMS sources have learned, but they are desperate to hold out for the best possible deal after discovering that Manchester United are not the only side interested in offering a route into the Premier League
