Manchester United made a recent approach for 18-year-old Polish centre-back Bright Ede
No Manchester United supporter would have preferred how the new season began. The team’s first game ended in a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, leaving them discouraged. In the first few minutes, United appeared rather aggressive, but they quickly lost their composure. Riccardo Calafiori converted a straightforward corner after Altay Bayindir’s errors destroyed the entire effort.
After that, Benjamin Sesko was added to give the attack more vigor, but Bryan Mbeumo’s feet provided the true opportunities. Another header was saved by David Raya, and a fantastic bicycle kick missed. With United losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final and finishing 15th in the league, the previous season was already a terrible one. It is even more concerning that the new year has begun without any competition from Europe.
Bright Ede’s transfer and uncertainty
The team is currently facing a dilemma in the transfer market as well. According to Sebastian Staszewski, negotiations for Bright Ede, a promising forward for Motor Lublin, have been put on hold for a few weeks. Manchester United and an unidentified Italian club are reportedly still in the running, although Chelsea and Benfica have both withdrawn from negotiations. The estimated value of the deal is €8.5 million.
From Manchester United’s perspective, it may make sense to spend €8.5 million on Bright Ede because the team may need a new young defender to bolster its roster going forward. It is certain, though, that the Polish center-back may not be a perfect match for the Premier League right away. The 18-year-old will require some time to get used to the club, but for the time being, it appears to be merely a routine question from us and nothing specific.
Although Bright Ede believes that joining United would be a big opportunity for prestige, he does not promise regular playing time, which is something he needs right now in his career. Given that we have Harry Maguire, who is over 32 and may yet go at the end of the season, it is evidently thrilling that we are interested in such a young center-back. In other news, Antony, a Manchester United failure, is eager to pursue a transfer to Real Betis.
