Man Utd now want to sign versatile Sevilla star | OneFootball

Manchester United have made contact with Sevilla over a possible deal for Juanlu Sanchez, according to Spanish outlet ABC Sevilla.

The 21-year-old is one of the best talents at the La Liga outfit. He was recently part of the Spanish side that won gold at the Olympic Games.

The Red Devils were reportedly impressed by his performances. A club official spoke with a colleague of Victor Orta, who is Sevilla’s sporting director.

United did not follow up with a formal offer, but there is ‘evident interest’.

United could consider a future move for Sanchez

Sanchez is a hugely versatile player. He has the ability to play anywhere on the right, including the right-back position. He can likewise operate on the left wing.

The Spaniard has started as a central midfielder in his four outings this season. His ability to adapt to different positions may have impressed United.

Since INEOS’ minority takeover, the focus has been on pursuing emerging talents or players entering their prime. Sanchez falls into the former of those categories.

Sanchez has no significant strengths at the current point in time, but he has caught the eye with his distribution, ability to provide key passes and recovery pace.

He has a release clause worth £21 million in his contract, but United could prise him away for less next summer if he opts against extending his deal, which expires in June 2026.
