Francisco Conceicao of Juventus emphasizes the need for dynamic wingers in attacking football, referencing the Champions League semi-final. He highlights that Manchester United missed the chance to sign Michael Olise, who opted for Bayern Munich instead.
Francisco Conceicao: Juventus attacking dynamo sends Man United transfer message
After watching the Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich Champions League semi-final clash, one thing was clear: you cannot have proper attacking football with basic wingers.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on one side, Michael Olise on the other, the two lit up that match. They were the true definition of wingers willing to take on their markers while offering pace, flair, and end product all at once.
It is frustrating, then, that Manchester United could have landed Olise in 2024, but he chose Bayern instead.
INEOS, however, now have an opportunity to sign such a winger if links to Juventusā Francisco Conceicao bear fruit.
Conceicao has caught the Red Devilsā interest, with his performances hinting he could be every bit as dangerous as Kvaratskhelia and Olise were on Tuesday night.
Francisco Conceicao pointed out that Manchester United needs more dynamic wingers for effective attacking football.
Michael Olise opted for Bayern Munich instead of Manchester United, which was confirmed by David Ornstein.
The Champions League semi-final showcased the importance of skilled wingers, prompting Conceicao to stress their necessity in modern football.

He is not a prolific goalscorer yet, but watching him trouble defenders, it seems only a matter of time before his numbers back up his play.
However, just as United were bracing for a battle with Liverpool for his services, a transfer message has arrived.
As per Tutto Sport, while flattered by Premier League interest, the message is clear: he is not leaving Turin.
The Italian outlet suggests the Portuguese winger would have commanded a significant pay rise on his ā¬4 million net salary were he to move to England, but as the report notes, ānot now, because Conceicao only has Juve in mind.ā
It is a shame the young winger is not tempted by a move to the Premier League, but the Manchester Reds should be okay without him.
Conceicao is predominantly a right winger, and United are already well stocked there with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo. Shea Lacey is also pushing for the same role.
Missing out on Conceicao, therefore, need not be so frustrating. That said, the Red Devils have another Serie A dribbling demon in Rafael Leao on their radar, and he could prove a game-changing signing if INEOS can get their hands on him. He is precisely the natural left winger this team is craving.
