With Anthony’s poor form last season and a huge feud with Jadon Sancho, Erik ten Hag has found the right wing a difficult position to occupy.
Marcus Rashford made it clear that he preferred the left wing and the Dutchman ended up trying out for Alejandro Garnazzo in that position, and he soon made it his own.
With the arrival of Amad Diallo, there is no need to play the Argentine in the wrong position and with United and INEOS keen on signing Anthony, another right-wing striker would fit right into the system.
United have unearthed a versatile gem in Sevilla’s Juanlu Sanchez, who has the potential to solve a number of problems for the Red Devils if they sign him in the coming months.
Sanchez interest
In fact, according to ABC Sevilla, the 20-time English league champions have even spoken to Gaby Luiz, a close friend of Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta, about the young Spaniard.
United had been closely monitoring the 21-year-old’s performances during Spain’s triumph at the Summer Olympics and had requested information about him.
“Blanquiroja’s sports management, through Gaby Luis, one of Victor Orta’s closest associates, was asked about Juanlu by an envoy from Manchester United, who followed him with interest during the outstanding tournament.
“Seville also presented the best player of the month award for August as a culmination of the gold medal. There has been no further work since and no offers for him, but the interest was clear.”
multi-talented genius
Although only 21, the Sevilla star can play on the right wing and was a right-back at the Olympics, but he can also play centrally in midfield or as a support striker, as he has done in La Liga this season.
This diversity will be a huge help to Ten Hag, as many of these areas lack depth and will need to be added in the future.
The Spanish player also fits INEOS’ profile of recruiting young talent and has a market value of just €15 million. Transfer market.
What’s interesting is that his contract expires in 2026 with just one year remaining, so United could potentially sign him on the cheap next summer if they want.
