Manchester United are interested in signing Trabzonspor midfielder Cristo Inao Ulai.
The 19-year-old midfielder will be worth around €40 million, with Manchester City also a target. Manager Josep Guardiola sees him as Rodri’s ideal successor in the long term. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat them to his signature.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Manchester United have already started contacting the player’s agent regarding a transfer.
They also have the financial power to pay the asking price. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay the premium. The 19-year-old is a talented and promising player who could develop into a key player for the club. Manchester United need a replacement for Casemiro, who is clearly past his peak. Oulai could be an ideal choice.
The opportunity to move to Manchester United or Manchester City would be very exciting for the young midfielder. It will be a step up in his career and he will test himself at the highest level. Regular football in England could bring out the best in the youngster and help him realize his potential.
Both clubs have had success developing young players in the past and they could play a key role in his development. Meanwhile, Manchester City will be able to offer him Champions League football and a platform to regularly compete for major trophies. It will be interesting to see what decisions the players make.
Ulai should consider joining a club where he can play regularly. Sitting on the bench at a big club would not be ideal for him. He must seek guarantees of game appearances before joining his new club.
