Manchester United Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Nottingham Ace: Good Fit For Carrick?

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on Nottingham Forest ace Murillo. It has been claimed that the Red Devils have identified the Brazilian defender as a target for the upcoming transfer window.

Murillo’s Impressive Form In English Football

The 23-year-old is having another solid campaign at the Midlands club as he has put in a run of impressive displays for them on the defensive third of the field. Murillo has participated in 32 matches for Nottingham this season, finding the back of the net twice in all competitions.

The Brazilian talent is currently among the best centre-backs in the Premier League. Thus, it is no wonder that Man United are eyeing a move to secure his services this off-season.

His current contract at the City Ground will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.
