Manchester United is looking to strengthen their defense and sees Marcos Senesi as a potential fit for their left-footed central defender role.
Manchester United is targeting a left winger, left-back, at least two midfielders, a goalkeeper, and a left-footed central defender.
The club is exploring free agents to bolster their squad without significantly impacting their budget.
Manchester United is actively pursuing Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi as part of their summer recruitment strategy. The club aims to strengthen multiple positions, including left-back and midfield, while considering free agents to manage their budget.
Marcos Senesi: Man United make serious move for Bournemouth defender
Manchester United are determined to ensure this summerās recruitment drive is successful.
As reported by ESPN, a new left winger, a left-back, at least two midfielders, a goalkeeper, and a left-footed central defender are all under consideration at Old Trafford.
Unitedās recruitment staff are closely studying this summerās list of free agents āas a way of potentially bolstering the squad without burning too much of a hole in the budget.ā
A separate report now claims the Red Devils have already made a move to sign a soon-to-be free agent.
Marcos Senesi is enjoying a phenomenal season at Bournemouth, having seamlessly taken charge of leading the backline following the departures of Illia Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen.
However, the Cherries may soon be forced to find Senesiās replacement, with the Argentina international, who has started all but one of his sideās Premier League games, nearing the end of his contract.
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Senesi is close to choosing his next club ahead of his contract expiry in June.
It is claimed the 28-year-oldās agents are in āclose contactā with United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
āThe rest of the teams are much further away,ā added Moretto.
On Saturday, Senesi delivered a resilient performance to frustrate league leaders Arsenal, helping Bournemouth beat them 2-1 at the Emirates. The six-foot-tall left-footed centre-back joined Bournemouth from Feyenoord in 2022.
Unitedās search for a left-footed defender may be partly due to Lisandro Martinezās worrying fitness record.
Senesiās fellow countryman has started just nine league games this season and has not featured for the Mancunians since February because of a calf issue.
Ahead of Unitedās clash against Leeds United, Michael Carrick confirmed the Argentinian is back in training but insisted he will not be pushed into starting Martinez despite Harry Maguireās absence.
