Considering that Raphael Varane has confirmed his departure from Manchester United on a free transfer, it is anticipated that the Red Devils will bring in a new center defender this summer.
At the moment, they are investigating a variety of possibilities available in the transfer market. Jarrad Branthwaite, who plays for Everton, is reportedly the player that is being pursued the most.
According to our point of view, the club now has the opportunity to get Militao, who was initially mentioned in connection with a transfer to Old Trafford while he was playing for Porto.
Before making the move to Real Madrid in 2019, Militao delivered an outstanding performance in his first season with the Primeira Liga club.
According to Mundo Deportivo (page 12), the Brazilian player is regarded to be ‘transferable’ despite the fact that he signed a new long-term contract with Los Blancos in January of this year.
After suffering a catastrophic knee injury, Militao has made five starts in La Liga this season; nevertheless, manager Carlo Ancelotti has favored Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez for the Champions League.
As a result of Aurelien Tchouameni’s transition to the position of center back, Ancelotti has made it possible for Militao to leave the team. Another possibility for the Italian is David Alaba, who is presently out with an injury. Militao would be an excellent addition to Manchester United’s roster.
During the summer, the Red Devils will no longer have access to Varane’s services. In preparation for the 2024–2025 season, they require a center defender of high caliber who is capable of fluidly filling in at the position.
Taking into consideration that Militao is a powerful ball-playing defender like Varane, the club would be quite fortunate to acquire his services. At this point in time, he has achieved a passing accuracy rate of 91%.
He has impressed with his aerial and ground challenges, and he enjoys clearing his lines. According to Ancelotti, the Brazilian is “really good” in one-on-one scenarios.
He has also impressed with his defensive abilities. Although he is a center defender on the right side, he is also capable of playing the right back position. In the course of his career, he played right back more frequently than any other position before he moved to the Bernabeu.
In light of the fact that there is speculation regarding Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the great player, who is valued at sixty million pounds, would offer the club a double answer.
