Manchester United Are Prepared To Get A Deal Done For This Valencia Midfielder: Good Signing For Amorim? | OneFootball

In a recent post on X, journalist Sebastien Vidal claimed that Manchester United are prepared to get a deal done for Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra. It is understood that the Red Devils are eager to finalise a move for the Spanish talent this summer.

Guerra’s Impressive Form In Spanish Football

Guerra put in a series of impressive displays at the centre of Valencia’s midfield in the previous campaign. The 22-year-old found the back of the net three times and earned three assists in 38 matches for the Spanish outfit last season across all fronts.

The Spanish midfield ace caught the eye at times in the middle of the park as he averaged 50 tackles, 15 blocks and 20 interceptions in La Liga. He even distributed possession well in the opponent’s half based on his pass completion rate of 77.9% in top-flight football (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Spanish club will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

Will Guerra Be A Good Signing For Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim?

Guerra is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to earn possession back for his team at the centre of the park. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and is a tidy passer of the ball as well.

The Spaniard can even contribute by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team from midfield. He is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder or play in the number ten position if told to do so.

At 22, the future looks quite promising for Guerra as long as he continues to improve with each season. He would bring a lot of energy and dynamism to Man United boss Ruben Amorim’s midfield.

The Spanish talent might even help the Red Devils get back to challenging for European football in the Premier League next season. With all things considered, he would be a great signing for the Mancunian giants to pursue before the end of this transfer window. However, only time will tell whether Guerra can make a smooth transition to life at Old Trafford.
