Manchester United are interested in signing Elche defender David Affengruber.
The 24-year-old central defender has been in good form for the Spanish club, with Manchester United also keen on him. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Ruben Amorim wants the club to sign the player. He believes Affengruber could be the ideal long-term partner for Lenny Yolo.
The 24-year-old would be tempted by the idea of a move to the Premier League. It would be a big step up in his career and he would be playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Manchester United need to tighten up at the back and signing Affengruber would make a lot of sense.
Apart from his qualities as a defender, he is a leader for Elche and his leadership qualities could be invaluable to Manchester United.
Affengruber has been described as a “silent leader.” It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will be able to conclude a deal. The player is valued at £26 million. And they certainly have the financial power to get the deal done.
The 24-year-old could be a bargain at his price if he can adapt quickly to English football. He has the physical and technical attributes suitable for the Premier League and could be an important player for Manchester United.
Elche will not want to lose a key player like Affengruber, but will be under pressure to cash in if a suitable offer is made. The defender is also likely to be tempted to move to Manchester United if a concrete offer is made first. It will be difficult for him to turn down one of the biggest clubs in the world.
