It has been claimed that Manchester United are considering making an offer for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.

Following Bentancur’s outstanding beginning to the Premier League season, the Red Devils are reportedly keeping a close eye on him, as reported by fichajes.

The following statement can be found further on in the report: “Several teams in Europe follow the situation of Rodrigo Bentancur.”

“At the moment, Manchester United and Liverpool are active in the bid for the South American midfielder, while Real Madrid observes from afar an option that seems appetizing,” the author writes. “Considering the high level that his compatriot, Fede Valverde, is experiencing in the engine room of the Santiago Bernabéu, this option seems appetizing.”

“With a contract in force until June 2026 and a market value of 40 million euros, according to Transfermarkt, everything points to the fact that Rodrigo Bentancur’s departure from Tottenham Hotspur could be closed for an excessive amount of money high,” says Transfermarkt. “With that said, everything points to the fact that Rodrigo Bentancur’s departure from Tottenham Hotspur could be closed for an excessive amount of money high.”

It is very evident that the footballer will not go from London for anything less than sixty million euros at the absolute minimum.

The 25-year-old midfielder has been one of the most impressive players for Tottenham this season.

As a box-to-box midfielder in a pivot with Pierre-Emile Hojberg, Antonio Conte has primarily employed him in that role with the team.

The two players have developed a productive working relationship in the middle of the field.

From the perspective of Manchester United, he would be a good addition to Casemiro’s team.

Bentancur, together with Bruno Fernandes, would make for a perfect number eight in Ten Hag’s system since he would supply both the technique and the enthusiasm that is required.

However, because of the significant cost, it does not appear that the transaction will take place in January. United has the option to change its mind in the summer.

Manchester United had six season-long leaders

Manchester United’s mood when most of their senior stars return next week will be intriguing.

Nine players were eliminated from the World Cup in the quarterfinals and get seven days off before returning to training. Two United players will compete till this weekend.

Erik ten Hag’s first task will be to cheer up individuals who regret wasted possibilities and are upset about their national team obligations ending this winter. A Carabao Cup match against Burnley is scarcely worth returning for, let alone with a point to prove.

Dressing room vibe will be intriguing. Last week, a makeshift team traveled to Spain in excellent spirits, but they may need to tread carefully when discussing the World Cup with returning players.

Cristiano Ronaldo won’t return either. He was still a United player when United last played competitively, and Piers Morgan’s blockbuster interview hadn’t even been teased.

Ten Hag claims the problem is over and the club has moved on, but when the dressing room reunites without him, he will be mentioned.

After losing their most prominent leader, it won’t be hard to replace his on-field contributions.

Harry Maguire remains club captain, and Bruno Fernandes has been vice captain all season. They will return as two of the most prominent players after excelling at the World Cup.

Raphael Varane might bring another World Cup gold to Carrington. The French international has set an example for his colleagues since joining the club.

Varane, like Casemiro, is a winner. The Brazilian isn’t the loudest United player, but he leads by example again. At the World Cup, he demonstrated dignity by congratulating his opponents after a humiliating quarter-final loss to Croatia.

Christian Eriksen has also brought valuable expertise to Old Trafford and has grown in prominence at United after exceeding expectations this season.

United’s leadership group includes two longtime players. Victor Lindelof is the Swedish captain and approaching his sixth year at the club, while David de Gea is a respected goalkeeper.

Ten Hag will need his most experienced players to help him focus on the immediate issue and regain momentum before the season resumes at Carrington next week.

After Ronaldo’s departure, someone else may lead.

Seven leaders may emerge.
