Manchester United could be in luck as it looks like Barcelona could be set to make defender Andreas Christensen available in the near future.
The Danish international has only played one competitive game for Barça under Hansi Flick this season, and it could be that we now see him offloaded by the club, as the Spaniard has reported. files.
Christensen is surely good enough to play regularly at a top-flight club, but there is plenty of competition in this Barcelona squad, especially since the first-team breakthrough of talented young centre-back Pau Cubarsi.
DEVASTATED Man Utd favorite hurt by Ruben Amorim decision!
Man United was one of the teams linked with an interest in Christensen for sport in the summer, although an agreement was not finalized on that occasion, the Red Devils strengthened their defense with the signings of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt.
Should Man United pursue Andreas Christensen’s chance?
Christensen has previously shown plenty of quality and has already proven himself in the Premier League during his time at Chelsea, so it makes sense that a big club like United could have a long-standing interest in him.
The 28-year-old could at the very least provide MUFC with a decent squad player option, while one imagines he would also challenge someone like De Ligt for a place in Ruben Amorim’s starting XI.
Both Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof will be out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season, so it might make sense to make the most of the opportunity to land someone of Christensen’s caliber.
United fans will certainly want to see some changes made to this template after the arrival of Amorim as manager, with the prestigious Portuguese tactician sure to give him license to turn things around after a difficult spell under his predecessor Erik ten Hag.
