Manchester United are interested in signing Allan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, according to MediaFoot.
The report in the French news outlet has claimed that Manchester United have been impressed by the Newcastle winger and have not ruled out making a bid for him before the summer transfer window closes next week.
However, according to the report, the Red Devils would have to work extremely hard to get a deal done, as Newcastle have ‘significant financial means’ and will not sell the French winger on the cheap.
Could Manchester United sign Allan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle United?
In our opinion, Manchester United are unlikely to be able to sign Allan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.
Yes, the Red Devils are arguably the biggest club in England and are wealthy, but Newcastle have grand plans for the future and will surely want to keep their best players at St. James’ Park.
Moreover, Manchester United have not been particularly great in recent years, and now manager Erik ten Hag is about to venture on yet another rebuild-job at Old Trafford.
Saint-Maximin himself may not be keen on a move to Old Trafford now, as he will be fully aware that if he has another good season at Newcastle, then he will find himself the subject of interest from other top clubs next summer.
