After getting their first signing in the summer window, Manchester United's new uniform team continues to attack everywhere in the transfer market, sweating like rain! De Ligt, Yoro, and Ugart are the main battlefields, but there are also some "side quests" that are being carried out in a low-key manner.
Earlier, the Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester United had made an offer of £21 million (about €25 million) for Ferdy Kadioglu, but Fenerbahce insisted on asking £30 million. Based on this, Manchester United may offer players who are not in Ten Hag's plans to the Turkey side as part of a deal.
Turkey media have previously reported Manchester United's interest in Kadioglu, and now Manchester Evening reported that Manchester United made an offer, which can be seen as a signal to officially launch a bid, and this step is also very necessary.
Manchester United were plagued by injuries last season and the backline was the hardest hit, especially at left-back, which was short of personnel throughout the season. With Malacia out for the season, Luke Shaw is well and injured, and Ten Hag can only make cameos with other players, with the defence being patchwork for almost the entire season. Although Luke Shaw has recovered from injury and played for England, and Malacia has also participated in pre-season training, it is impossible for United to pin their hopes entirely on the two 'sick numbers'.
Kadioglu, on the other hand, is an "iron man", having played 37 league games last season, starting all of them and playing the full 90 minutes. He played a total of 51 games and 46 starts in all games, and started all five games in the European Championship and played the whole game, still able to grasp the attack and defense with one hand, and fly up and down the wings. Cardioglu has of course had injuries, but they were mostly minor. Last season he suffered two injuries, one with a calf injury and 14 days off, and the other with a minor bump and three days off. The longest injury in his career of more than 8 years was only 28 days off, and it was a fracture of the bone, not a major injury that could affect athletic performance, such as ligaments and meniscus.
In addition to his high attendance, Cadioğlu is also well-rounded. In attack: Kadioglu is fast, has excellent dribbling ability and is able to break through opposition defences on the wingsHis ability to control the ball allows him to remain calm and look for passing opportunities under pressureKadioglu's crosses are precise and create scoring opportunities for his team-matesHe has a wide field of vision, is able to make effective short and long passes, and has a strong assist ability
Defensively, Cardioglu was fitted and able to maintain a high intensity of running throughout the gameHis stamina allows him to consistently play efficiently in the transition between attack and defenceIn addition, his defensive awareness and tackling skills are also quite good, he can effectively block the opponent's offensive line on the wing, and has strong interception abilityLast season, Cardioğlu was the defender with the most key passes and the 6th highest number of dribbles in the Turkish Super LeagueAt the European Championships, he had a success rate of over 50% in tackles and tackles, and was ranked 5th in interceptions
At present, Cardiglu is worth 21 million euros, and it is reasonable that Manchester United's offer of 25 million was rejected, but the asking price of 30 million pounds (about 36 million euros) is slightly high, and it depends on how the two teams negotiate.
In addition to Kadioglu, Manchester United and Girona winger Tsigankov have also been rumored to be in the red. According to Spain's newspaper As, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is interested in Zigankov and has spoken to him.
At present, Manchester United has a lot of wingers, but only a handful can really use them. Rashford can't count on it, Antony is basically "water", although Sancho has returned to the team, there is a high probability that he will still be sold, and Pellistri and Diallo cannot meet the requirements of the giants' starters. Tsygankov is fast and has a certain ability to dribble, pass and shoot. Last season, he made 30 appearances for Girona in La Liga, making 26 starts, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists. At the end of the season, he played in the European Championship, scoring one goal in two starts in three games.
At present, in addition to Manchester United, Premier League teams such as Arsenal and Villa are also on the list of scandals. The player is worth 30 million and the release fee is also 30 million, which is indeed a good choice for teams with limited budgets but need to strengthen their wing attack. But before signing Tshigankov, United will definitely need to clear up the wingers' redundancy, so we'll see.
