Once hailed as the best club in the country, Manchester United now find themselves clinging to past glories, no longer the dominant force they once were. However, with the arrival of highly regarded young coach Rúben Amorim, the club may be on the cusp of an exciting new era. An intense summer transformation is already underway as United prepare for a crucial transfer window.
According to Caught Offside, the club’s scouting team has expressed strong interest in Como’s rising star Nico Paz. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has caught the attention of several top sides, not just United, but also Real Madrid, who are reportedly keen on bringing him back this summer. United’s scouts are said to be impressed with both his talent and his potential.
Manchester United are also keeping a close eye on Nico Paz and could move for the talented midfielder, though no formal approach has been made as the player continues to weigh his options. New Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is reportedly very keen on bringing Paz back and may look to activate the €8 million buy-back clause. However, sources suggest that Paz is in no rush to return to the Bernabéu unless he receives firm assurances of consistent first-team opportunities.
The Argentine could make waves at the Premier League
Paz’s initial stint with Real Madrid offered little to no first-team action, which is why he’s approaching his next career move with caution. His well-timed switch to Como has transformed his trajectory, with the young Argentine midfielder enjoying a breakout season, scoring 15 goals in 35 appearances for the Italian side.
This surge in form presents a clear opportunity for Manchester United to step in and pursue Paz. However, the bigger factor may lie in what unfolds at Como over the coming months. Cesc Fàbregas, currently a key figure at the club, is being strongly linked with the vacant managerial role at Inter Milan. While Fàbregas has previously been connected to high-profile positions, he has so far chosen to remain at Como. Should he stay, it would significantly boost the club’s chances of holding onto a key asset like Paz.

With Matheus Cunha already secured from Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo next on the radar, Manchester United’s urgency in the transfer market is unmistakable, and entirely justified after a disappointing season. Bringing in an emerging talent like Nico Paz would further strengthen the club’s intent to start a new chapter. A 15th-place finish in the Premier League, coupled with a Europa League final defeat, has made it clear that major changes are needed. Rúben Amorim will likely be eager to overhaul the squad and usher in a bold new era at Old Trafford.
