Get it done: Man Utd ready to pay £78m for 'future Ballon d'Or winner', he'd take them to next…

Manchester United need to go all out in their efforts to sign Juventus sensation Kenan Yildiz.

The start of the 2025/26 season has seen Man United's inconsistencies under Ruben Amorim continue. There have always been flashes of brilliance from the side under their current manager's guidance, but they have seemingly never been able to turn that into a strong run of form. Amorim is still yet to win back-to-back Premier League games, despite having been in his post for almost a year.

Results so far this season for the Red Devils, including a shock Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby Town, have seen pressure rise on Amorim, though his position at the club appears secure for the long-term, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe having given an insight on how long he thinks the Portuguese should be in charge at Old Trafford.

Across the summer, Man United completely revamped their attack, signing forwards Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo. The trio will, no doubt, aid the club in time, but that is not to say that the Red Devils should not pursue even further quality in their forward line.

Man United Should Push For Yildiz

A product of the Juventus academies, Yildiz has developed into a sensation for the Turin club since making his senior debut in 2023. The Turkish international has become a staple of Juventus' first-team, having been assigned the number 10 shirt in 2024.

Man United are reportedly willing to spend £78 million on Yildiz and have shown, particularly last summer, that despite their recent woes in the Premier League, the club still have a sizeable budget, meaning a transfer in the region of that fee is not completely out of proportion.

Yildiz has enjoyed a sensational start to the 2025/26 season, notching six goal contributions in eight games across the Serie A and Champions League. Still just 20 years old, Yildiz has been touted as a future Ballon d'Or winner, such is his potential and current ability.

Comfortable in a variety of attacking positions, Yildiz would be a truly sensational signing for the Red Devils, offering them further quality in their attack. Whether they can agree a deal with Juventus for them to part ways with their star, however, remains to be seen.
