Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Real Sociedad star Mikel Merino. The Red Devils are very serious about the 27-year-old and have sent a scout.
Manchester United will make a major overhaul of the squad composition. Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants the Red Devils to be filled with new names with better quality.
One of the sectors of concern is midfield. Because, the Red Devils are rumoured not to continue working with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. Both players are considered finished.
Instead, Man United are chasing Mikel Merino who has been brilliant with Real Sociedad this season. Player 27 that year became the key to Sociedad penetrating the last 16 of the Champions League.
In addition, Mikel Merino's individual record is no less shining. He has six goals and five assists in 36 matches this season.
COPE reports, that Manchester United have sent scouts to see Mikel Merino's performance firsthand. The Red Devils will continue to do so until this season ends.
According to reports, Merino intends to leave next summer. In fact, the Spaniard has rejected a contract extension offer.
However, Manchester United are not alone. Mikel Merino also attracted the attention of Manchester City and Juventus. Real Sociedad hopes for a price war to make Merino's value soar.
