Man Utd Must Complete Shock Move for Man City Star After Romano Update
McAtee Could Be Key to United’s Midfield Rebuild
Manchester United have a rare chance to sign one of Manchester City’s brightest young midfielders, James McAtee. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that McAtee is available for around £25m this summer. That’s a steal for a player with his talent.
The 22-year-old is dropping down the pecking order at City, and he only has one year left on his contract. So, Utd could pull off a smart move by bringing him to Old Trafford. Last season, McAtee made only nine starts for City but did show some magic in the few games. He has been in great form for the England under-21s He captained the England side and won a European Championship. He was awarded Man of the Match in the final as well. At £25m , he offers serious value for money. United should jump at the chance to bring in a local talent with bags of potential.
Time to Cross the Divide for Game Time and Growth
If McAtee is looking for minutes and development, Old Trafford may be the perfect club. Within Ruben Amorim’s likely renewals, McAtee will be getting regular minutes with the team. He will help balance the likes of Bruno Fernandes for the central position.
Amorim is after attacking midfielders that include Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. But, McAtee could give a key option and depth in the number 10 spot. Should McAtee have a good season with United, he would place himself in contention with a future England World Cup squad in 2026.
The last major transfer between the two Manchester clubs was over a decade ago. So, bringing McAtee across would not only surprise the city but also signal serious intent from Utd.
