Manchester United will likely reinforce their midfield during the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils have had a tough campaign in the Premier League. They are presently languishing 13th in the table with just 37 points on the board.
Manager Ruben Amorim will undoubtedly demand signings this summer. A new midfielder could be signed, with Christian Eriksen expected to leave.
The Dane recently said he is preparing for a new challenge after his contract expires on June 30.
In our view, the club should swoop for Hugo Larsson as a replacement for the 33-year-old.
Larsson has quickly developed into one of the best central midfielders in German football.
The 20-year-old signed for Eintracht Frankfurt from Malmo in 2023. He has had a fantastic second season at the Bundesliga outfit with several stand-out displays.
The Sweden international has a passing accuracy of 88 percent this term. He has won almost 50 percent of his duels with an average of 3.6 recoveries and 1.3 tackles.
Larsson has also chipped in with six goals and an assist. The youngster has caught the eye with late runs into the box. He should only get better with age and experience.
The midfielder has “enormous” potential, as Eintracht CEO Markus Krosche described.
The German club want £50 million to sanction his sale. We believe United should grab the opportunity to sign him as he can also operate as a defensive midfielder.
Larsson would be a perfect foil for Manuel Ugarte in the heart of the midfield. Bruno Fernandes could be pushed forward into his more preferred number 10 position.
