However, the major obstacle will be United’s competition with the other two Premier League clubs. The 25-year-old has a release clause of €80 million, and the La Liga club won’t settle for anything less. This is a steep figure, but sometimes you have to take a gamble for a quality player. Interestingly, reports reveal Manchester United are considering Oliver Glasner as a potential replacement for Ruben Amorim. Coaching decisions and transfer priorities often intertwine, and any managerial change could affect how aggressively United pursue Sancet.
Why Sancet could be the right fit?
The Spanish midfielder will provide goals as well as inject intelligence between the lines. Amorim wants to add this kind of balance right from the time he became the manager of the club. In his 3-4-2-1 system, Sancet could combine with Bruno Fernandes, replace him or even play in the positions where Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are currently playing. He will give United a second option to carry out attacks and threaten defences. Sancet’s ability to drop deep, receive possession, and glide forward mirrors what United have been missing whenever opponents pin back our midfield. He will likely be Fernandes’ replacement.
However, the €80 million price tag is steep, and even the most ardent fans will accept that United have to look at the Financial side of things before making such a move. The competition from Arsenal and Spurs also provides an obstacle to a possible pursuit. United have to decide whether his qualities justify paying the full amount, knowing that he is still developing. Interestingly, reports suggest Manchester United are monitoring the situation of Francisco Trincao, which signals that the scouting department is evaluating wide options too, showing there is an awareness of strengthening multiple areas. Yet, no position feels more urgent than midfield.
