Manchester United’s right-wing issues persisted throughout the last season, plagued by off-field problems affecting their key wingers.
Erik ten Hag found himself in a serious dispute with Jadon Sancho early in the season, resulting in Sancho being loaned out to Borussia Dortmund in January.
New signing Antony struggled to make an impact, only managing to score two goals amid a domestic violence case filed against him.
Alejandro Garnacho had to step up and perform admirably in an unfamiliar role on the right wing, but a more permanent solution may be sought after by INEOS in this transfer window.
RW Potential Target
Reports from AS suggest that Manchester United is considering a summer move for Viktor Tsygankov from Girona, following his impressive debut season in La Liga.
Tsygankov, an Ukraine international, showcased his talent with eight goals and seven assists, attracting interest from English clubs like Arsenal and Aston Villa due to his left-footed playing style.
Girona’s manager, Michel, is keen on retaining the 26-year-old and has urged the club to secure him on a longer contract with an increased release clause of €30 million.
While Tsygankov is currently on vacation after his Euro 2024 campaign, Manchester United’s manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly made contact to discuss a potential move to Old Trafford.
Tsygankov Negotiations
Despite interests from top English clubs, including Manchester United and Aston Villa, formal offers are yet to be made for Tsygankov. However, discussions with his representatives have indicated a possible future bid.
While Girona aims to increase the release clause and offer a higher salary to keep Tsygankov, the allure of playing in the Premier League may sway the player’s decision.
Tsygankov’s versatility to play on multiple positions may appeal to Ten Hag’s strategy, though the lack of experience in English football poses a challenge.
