Manchester United ready to bid €40m for La Liga midfielder Luka Sucic | OneFootball

Manchester United are keen on signing Real Sociedad star Luka Sucic, as per Fichajes.

United’s midfield issues yet again came to the fore against Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup. Ruben Amorim rested Kobbie Mainoo, handing Christian Eriksen an opportunity to partner Manuel Ugarte in the middle of the park.

Ange Postecoglou’s men overran United’s midfield and scored three goals within the first hour, forcing Amorim to make a flurry of changes, albeit that didn’t prove enough.

The Red Devils could do with reinforcements all across the pitch, but their midfield, in particular, is too light and lacks both physical and technical prowess.

Manchester United willing to test Real Sociedad’s resolve for Luka Sucic

According to Fichajes, United are prepared to strengthen their midfield by making an ambitious move for Sucic.

The Croatia international moved to San Sebastian from RB Salzburg in the summer in a deal reported to be worth €10m.

In no time, he has established himself as one of the most crucial players at Sociedad, having made 17 appearances across all competitions.

Capable of playing as a central midfielder as well as an attacking midfielder, he has impressed with his technical quality and vision under Imanol Alguacil.

The Spanish outlet claims that his performances and skill sets have “not gone unnoticed” by United, who are reportedly “willing to launch an offer of €40 million” to sign the 22-year-old midfield prodigy.

Considering Sucic only joined the side just a few months ago, it is hard to imagine he would be allowed to exit imminently.

However, the report adds that the figure that United are open to offer could be “difficult to turn down” for the La Liga outfit.

Amid United’s midfield shortage, the Premier League giants have been also advised to explore the possibility of signing their former midfielder Paul Pogba by club legend Dwight Yorke.
