30-year-old rival star linked with a surprise move to Manchester United
According to Fichajes, there are reports suggesting that Manchester United has expressed interest in acquiring Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey.
There is a possibility of Partey, who is 30 years old, making a move during the upcoming summer transfer window. Manchester United is considering him as a potential option.
Manchester United is in need of additional reinforcements in midfield, and Partey, alongside Casemiro, could potentially form a strong partnership under the management of Erik ten Hag.
Partey had an impressive season with Arsenal and played a crucial role in their pursuit of the title. He possesses the potential to contribute effectively to Manchester United as well.
By adding Partey to their squad, Manchester United would gain physicality and defensive support. Being well-experienced in the Premier League, he is expected to make an immediate impact.
Last season, Manchester United secured a place in the Champions League and also claimed a domestic trophy. Their aim for the upcoming season is to contend for the league title, and a player like Partey would be a valuable addition to their team.
Currently, Partey is performing at the peak of his abilities, and his signing could significantly enhance Manchester United’s chances of competing for the title.
On the other hand, there are expectations that Arsenal will finalize a club-record deal to acquire Declan Rice from West Ham United. This suggests that the 24-year-old English international could potentially replace Partey at Arsenal.
Whether Arsenal is willing to sell their star midfielder to a direct rival remains uncertain.
