The Mirror reports that the Manchester United manager has made the speedy full back Nathaniel Clyne a major target for the summer and believes that he can get a deal over the line for somewhere in the region of £15m.
Manchester United confident Nathaniel Clyne transfer from Southampton will happen in the summer
This one makes an awful lot of sense to us. Even if Manchester United’s perennially injured Rafael da Silva does eventually step up to the plate, he will need some serious and long term competition.
And at 23 Clyne ticks all the boxes. He has good experience of The Premier League and would therefore represent a low risk investment. He’s got exactly the right style of play for Manchester United, being the fast, aggressive and adventurous attacking full back that he is. On top of this he has his best years ahead of him.
When you look at the plus points the figure of £15m, mooted by the source, seems like an absolute snip. Some feel that Manchester United are about to make a choice between Clyne and Everton defender Seamus Coleman. While the latter is also an exceptionally good crosser of the ball, Clyne has that explosive burst of pace that will surely carry him into The Champions League, one way or another before too much longer.
Let’s have a look at the England international in action. Manchester United fans: the perfect addition to the squad this summer?
