He was the new Messi, costs only 35 million and could be coming to Manchester United

Manchester United is still looking for its first signing for the 2023-2024 season, as due to budget uncertainty the team does not have the possibility of spending large amounts on signings, which is why several targets have already been ruled out as reinforcements for the Red Devils.

However, Manchester United is not giving up and continues to scour the transfer market, looking for players who can help the team but who are not so expensive or wanted by other teams. To this end, Erik ten Hag has already put under his radar one of the great jewels of FC Barcelona, a player who in his debut with the Spanish club was even compared to Lionel Messi.

We are talking about Ansu Fati, Barcelona's Spanish striker who surprised the world on his professional debut, when many claimed that he was the new jewel of Spanish football and Lionel Messi's heir at the club. However, injuries have diminished him a little, and although he is still very young, being only 20 years old, his market value has suffered a significant decrease, as he was worth up to 80 million euros.

However, now the Transfermarkt portal has him valued at 35 million, an amount that could be very affordable for Manchester United with all the budgetary problems arising from the sale of the club.

Ansu Fati and his future at Barcelona

Ansu Fati has been unhappy with the amount of minutes he has had under Xavi Hernandez at FC Barcelona, which is why teams like Manchester United have considered the possibility of trying to sign him. However, it seems that the player's priority is to stay in Spain for at least one more season.
