Manchester United have been linked with a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
The 24-year-old England international has established himself as a reliable player in the Premier League and has been linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in the last months. Clubs such as Newcastle United tried to sign him at the start of the season, however the asking price scared off his suitors.
Now a report from files claims Manchester United would be willing to pay £33m for the defender. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace are willing to accept the offer. The report mentions that the Eagles could easily demand more than £50m for the player.
He is a proven player in the Premier League and it would not be a surprise if Crystal Palace decided to demand a premium from him. Guehi could end up justifying the long-term investment, but it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are willing to break the bank for him now.
Marc Guehi would improve Man United
Manchester United have conceded 18 goals in 14 league games so far and need to strengthen their defense if they are to secure Champions League qualification for next season. Landing a centre-back could make a huge difference and the Red Devils must do everything in their power to get the deal done.
There is no doubt that a club with its resources will be able to afford the asking price. They need top players to bridge the gap with clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Even if they have to overpay, they have to bring in better quality players.
We also want to compete for trophies and Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the country. He will be excited to play for them.
