The transfer season has begun, with all the pressure now shifting over to Edward Woodward and his team to get deals done. Manchester United will always set their sights on the highest possible players available as Jose Mourinho looks to form a title-winning team.
Today we’ve been given another transfer rumour, and it comes from Premium Sport HD in Italy. They say that Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic has ‘chosen’ to sign for Manchester United this summer.
The fee they mentioned is €45million (£40million) plus bonuses, which seems a rather large sum for a 28-year-old who has had nothing more than a solid season in the Serie A.
Honestly, I don’t see any real point in this move. Is he really an upgrade on what we have already out wide? I’d guess at probably not, and I’d much prefer to see Anthony Martial given a real run in the side out there.
I’d be pretty underwhelmed if the Croatian did come in, but you have to say that Mourinho got each and every one of his summer deals 100% correct so we have to give him our full backing.
We have to remember that the window doesn’t officially open for a month so there is plenty of time for plenty more rumours like this to surface before we see any real concrete information coming through.
