Manchester United are interested in signing Brazilian midfielder Danilo from Botafogo.
The 25-year-old has performed very well for the Brazilian club and Manchester United would like to bring him back to England. He has failed to make a mark at Nottingham Forest so far, but the opportunity to return to English football could be exciting for him.
Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and they could help him win big trophies. According to a report from UOL, Manchester United have already submitted a contract offer for the 25-year-old central midfielder.
However, Botafogo have no plans to accept the offer yet. They will likely wait until after the World Cup to see if his value increases. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Danilo can play as a central or box-to-box midfielder. He will add drive, physicality, defensive coverage and scoring in the middle of the park. This season, he has scored 10 goals in all competitions and has also recorded 3 assists. He could become Manchester United’s full-fledged midfielder next season.
The player is at the peak of his career and now is the perfect time to take on a new challenge. He wants to prove himself in the Premier League. He will feel he has unfinished business in English football and Manchester United could offer him a platform to showcase his qualities.
The report does not mention how much Manchester United have offered for the 25-year-old midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can win the race for him.
