If Amrabat does'nt arrive, player who would arrive at United for 100,000 euros a week

While it seems that Amrabat is still the first name on the list for Manchester United, now there is a new option that has raised a lot of interest from Old Trafford to cover that position.

The fact is that the deal for Sofyan Amrabat seems to be only a matter of time from happening, the fact that the player is keen on joining Manchester United in this transfer window also sets the idea perfectly that he would only be days or hours away from joining the team, but now there is a new name that could cover the same positon as he would do.

“Sky Sports” and some other sources has reported that Manchester United could be ready to start a bidding war with Chelsea over the signing of Edson Álvarez, the mexican midfielder from Ajax seems to be an ideal alternative for Erik ten Hag and the deal could also be on the table to happen if the deal for Amrabat takes longer than expected.

The fact is that Edson Álvarez could be worth 50 million euros in this transfer window and that could stop the deal from happening in the next few days, but with a salary of 100,000 euros per week the midfielder could be getting four times what he is currently earning at Ajax and that could push the deal to happen right away.

Edson Álvarez role

The fact is that the main difference between Sofyan Amrabat and Edson Álvarez is that the mexican midfielder could only cover the same positon as Casemiro as his main role, and that he could be more expensive, but the other fact is that while he is younger than Amrabat, the 50 million euros could be better spend on him than on Alvarez for the future of the team.
