As reported by Fichajes, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Juventus defender Juan Cabal. The Premier League club could make an official move to sign the talented youngster in the next summer transfer window.
Who is Juan Cabal?
Juan Cabal started his career with Atletico Nacional before joining Hellas Verona. Impressed with his progress, Juventus signed him this summer on a five-year contract. The defender is rated highly by many and has high potential.
Cabal is a centre-back but was integrated as a left-back last year. He featured in 22 games but didn’t have any direct goal contribution. He averaged 1.6 tackles, 1.1 interceptions, and 2.1 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The Colombian defender is now versatile to play as a centre-back or even as a left-back. He is better known for his defensive traits and might not be too useful going up the pitch. He is physically strong, reads the game well and marks an aerial dominance.
Juan Cabal can be an elite defender
Manchester United have changed their approach in recent years. They have started investing more in youngsters ever since the new owners took charge. As they look to build a core team for the present and the future, they remain dedicated to nourishing more talents.
Juan Cabal is a talent that the Red Devils want to acquire. Given his high qualities and immense potential, he can be a good option in the future. The player has all it takes to succeed in a top-tier club and script a legacy of his own.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United will make an official move or not the next summer. As Juventus know Cubal’s potential, they will surely try to hold him or even demand a premium fee. From the player’s point of view, joining Old Trafford could be a lucrative deal.
