Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi files.
The 26-year-old Morocco international has established himself as one of the best full-backs in world football and could prove to be a quality signing for the Red Devils. He has also been linked with Liverpool.
Although they have Diogo Dalot at their disposal, they need more quality in this area of the pitch. Hakimi is a complete full-back who will help at both ends of the pitch. The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers and could help Manchester United improve immensely.
The Red Devils need top quality players to compete with clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Hakimi is regarded as one of the best players in his role and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can get the deal done.
The 26-year-old defender has been described by his manager Luis Enrique as an elite player with a wealth of experience.
Enrique said earlier this season (h/t Morocco WorldNews): “He is more and more complete, especially in the defensive part. Hakimi is an elite player with a lot of experience and serves as a reference for his teammates. I think he’s more mature than last season, and that reflects his development.”
Hakimi would like Man United move
The player could be tempted to move to the Premier League if the opportunity presents itself. It would be an exciting challenge for him at this stage of his career. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get a deal done with PSG.
Manchester United have had a lackluster campaign so far, and will be looking to bounce back strongly in the second half of the season. It remains to be seen if they will qualify for Europe next season. Attracting world-class players like Hakimi without European football could prove difficult next season. He will want to join a big club capable of winning big trophies.
