Manchester United should consider Thomas Meunier this summer.
Manchester United’s desire to improve their full-back options is likely to extend to right-back too.
Last summer they were linked with Serge Aurier, who ended up signing for Tottenham Hotspur instead for £24 million.
Aurier was pushed out partly due to Thomas Meunier, who kept him out of the Paris Saint-Germain side last season.
Now Meunier is expected to leave the club this summer, having seen his own chances stunted by the arrival of Dani Alves, with Nieuwsblad reporting he is keen for a fresh start.
Meunier is a Belgium international and at 26 is the right age for the type of player Jose Mourinho likes to target.
The right-back is a self-confessed United fan, with Manchester Evening News reporting he told Belgian news outlet DH: “On the other side of the channel, there are the stadiums, the fans, and I’ve never hidden that I’m a big fan of Manchester United, which remains, in my eyes, the real reference in the world of football.
He has 12 Ligue 1 starts this season for PSG, who are likely to have a shake up this summer ig a new manager is appointed to replace Unai Emery.
At United Meunier would compete with 32-year-old Antonio Valencia for a spot, and the returning Timothy Fosu-Mensah, with Matteo Darmian expected to be sold.
Meunier might just be the right player to bridge the gap between the pair and prove a very worthwhile signing.
