Manchester United are having a pretty disappointing current season in the Premier League. Apart from their dismal performance in the midfield and in front of the opposition goal, recent injury scares is surely keeping their mercurial forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, along with centre-back Marcos Rojo out of the action for quite some time. This has forced the Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho to look for reinforcements for the next season already.
Manchester United have got their eyes fixed on the 20-year-old midfielder from Valencia Carlos Soler as a prime target for the next season. The Spaniard is in a mercurial form of late and has been playing a very important part in reviving Valencia’s season. With three goals in 18 La Liga games for Valencia, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder can be the answer to Manchester United’s woes in the next season.
Reportedly, Carlos Soler’s current club Valencia has put a price tag of £25 million on him, and Manchester United is rumoured to be in the process of negotiating terms with the Spanish club to secure the service of the highly rated midfielder in the next transfer window. However, there has been no confirmation about any development over the rumoured deal from any club’s end.
With exceptional shooting and dribbling skills, the Spaniard can be a threat to his opposition. He can hold on to the ball for a long time as well. He makes it look fairly easy with his outstanding dribbling skills, as he makes his way into the heart of opposition defence. He has the ability to cause an enormous threat to the opposition from indirect set piece situations.
With Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan failing to make a mark in the midfield for Manchester United, Jose Mourinho has been targeting midfielders from various clubs to fill in the void for the last season. The Spanish youngster looks to fit the bill completely for the Portuguese manager and can be a prized inclusion for the Red Devils in their side for the next season.
Reportedly, Spanish giants Barcelona also had their eyes on the young midfielder during the January transfer window. The Catalan giants had their scouts looking after the gradual improvement graph of the 20-year-old midfielder. However, with the sudden rise in the price tag of the midfielder to £26 million, which they thought was too much, led the Catalan club to give up their pursuit for the Spanish youngster.
