Gutierrez is the target of Man Utd

Faced with that situation, coach Erik ten Hag really wants to spend heavily to bring in quality rookies in the winter transfer period of 2024. The nаme he is keeping an eye on is Miguel Gutierrez, a player who is playing sublimated and making great contributions to helping Girona flies high on the La Liga rankings.

The 22-year-old star is the player who has played the most matches in Girona this season, and also contributed 1 goal and 3 assists. The former Real Madrid star also possesses a similar playing style to Luke Shaw with the ability to аttаck and defend comprehensively.

Notably, Gutierrez’s price is only about 20 million euros, a figure Man Utd can completely meet. But the key point comes from the fact that Real Madrid is the co-owner of the defender born in 2021. Therefore, “Los Blancos” will have priority to buy back the old one at a cheap price whenever they want. This will be a challenge for Man Utd in the process of negotiating to recruit this talented defender.

In another development, the “Red Devils” are planning to call back young star Charlie McNeill. The young player known as “Greenwood 2.0” is facing many difficulties at Stevenage, a team in England’s second division.

Young star Charlie McNeill

Despite scoring in his first match for Stevenage, McNeill was still “snubbed” by coach Steve Evans when he was not allowed to play in the last 9 matches and so far, he has only played in only 3 matches.

Not wanting to see one of the top young stars in the academy have to sit on the bench in the Second Division, Man Utd decided to contact Stevenage to end the loan contract early and bring McNeill back to Old Trafford .
