Reports suggest that Manchester United has recently inquired about Roma’s left-back, Leonardo Spinazzola.
Manchester United is considering a move to secure the services of Spinazzola
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester United is considering a move to secure the services of the 30-year-old Italian player due to injury concerns surrounding Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Erik ten Hag is in urgent need of reinforcing the left-back position after Shaw and Malacia’s injury
Erik ten Hag is in urgent need of reinforcing the left-back position before the closure of the summer transfer window, in order to elevate Manchester United’s standing in the Premier League. While the acquisition of a defensive midfielder remains a priority for the United manager before the September 1st deadline, the importance of securing a high-caliber left-back or left wing-back cannot be ignored.
He appears to be a superior option compared to Marcos Alonso
With Shaw and Malacia expected to be sidelined until at least November, it appears that Ten Hag has identified a potential candidate for the role at Old Trafford. According to Di Marzio, the 30-year-old defender from AS Roma is the latest left-back on Manchester United’s radar. He appears to be a superior option compared to Marcos Alonso, in my view.
Spinazzola has been previously described as a ‘world-class’ player by Football Italia, and his credentials are indeed top-notch. Despite being on the mature side of 30, he possesses remarkable speed.
He’s good in both defense and attack
In defense, Spinazzola embodies the quintessential Italian approach. He demonstrates tenacious tackling and leaves no room for opponents to maneuver. Furthermore, his presence would bring invaluable winning experience to the Manchester United squad.
The Roma player clinched a Serie A title and the European Championships
During his career, the Roma player clinched a Serie A title with Juventus and the European Championships with the Italian national team.
If Manchester United expresses interest, Roma will surely be reluctant to part ways with Leonardo Spinazzola. However, with his contract at Stadio Olimpico set to expire next summer, Roma will face a significant decision.
