Manchester United are keen on signing the Girona defender Yan Couto at the end of the season.
According to TuttoJuve, the Red Devils are one of the clubs keen on the 21-year-old right back and they will face competition from Spanish champions, Real Madrid.
The Brazilian defender is on loan from Premier League club Manchester City and they could look to sell him permanently at the end of the season. Couto is unlikely to get regular game time at Manchester City next season and it would make sense for him to leave the club permanently and join a club where he will get regular first-team action.
If Manchester United can provide him with that opportunity, a move to Old Trafford will be attractive for him. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the option to play for them can be hard to turn down.
Man United would do well to sign Yan Couto
Manchester United need a complete full-back who will contribute at both ends of the pitch. The 21-year-old could prove to be an interesting acquisition. He has the ability to develop into a quality full-back with the right guidance. He could prove to be a quality alternative to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Couto has two goals and 10 assists to his name in all competitions this season and he has shown his quality in the Spanish league consistently. He is certainly good enough for the Premier League and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are prepated to provide him with the opportunity to compete in English football.
The €40 million asking price is certainly affordable for a club with Manchester United’s resources.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid need to bring in a quality alternative alternative to Dani Carvajal and Couto would be a superb option for them as well. It remains to be seen where the Brazilian defender ends up. The 21-year-old will look to join a big club and both Manchester United and Real Madrid will be exciting destinations for him.
