Manchester United have sent an interesting proposal to Juventus for Kenan Yildiz – Man United News And Transfer News

Manchester United produced a stunning late comeback against cross-town rivals Manchester City to win the volatile Premier League encounter 2-1 away at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Ruben Amorim is changing the club’s style of play for the better with the Manchester derby win coming despite the Portuguese dropping both his top scorers for the game.

Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who have been the team’s go-to counter-attacking options under previous managers, were dropped for the game as the new head coach opted to control the game rather than focusing on chaos.

The Mancunian’s disappointing form on the pitch and his off-pitch demeanor has led to talks of an exit with the club open to a cut-price sale.

Attacking reinforcements

In case the England international does end up leaving, the Red Devils will need attacking reinforcements down the left and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz has emerged as a serious option.

He excels down the left but can also play all across the frontline and as a support striker if needed. He has four goals and as many assists from 18 starts across all competitions this season.

Ever since INEOS came onboard, the club’s strategy has shifted from signing old superstars to focusing on trying to acquire the best young talents from across the globe and the young Turk certainly fits that bill.

As per Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness), the 20-time English league champions have sent an “interesting proposal” to the Turin-based club after being impressed with the 19-year-old’s display when Juve beat City.

United keen on Yildiz

United’s eyes “widen” whenever they have seen the Turkiye international in action and his display in midweek has it “rekindled their interest” in the attacker.

The Bianconeri have no plans of parting ways with the former Bayern Munich starlet, signing a new deal which will keep the player in Turin until 2029.

United remain “one of the great admirers” of the footballer and have been following his exploits since his days in Bavaria.

Juventus are aware that United and other big clubs “return to the charge” and are even planning further talks in 2025 to bring Yildiz’s earnings up to speed with the other top earners in Thiago Motta’s squad so as to avoid the potential of losing him on the cheap.
