Manchester United have recently been linked with a surprise move for former Spanish international defender Sergio Ramos.
However, a report from ESPN has now ruled out any potential move to Manchester United for Monterrey defender Sergio Ramos.
There is no doubt that he is a quality player and he has shown that over the years. However, he is in the twilight stages of his career right now. It would be a surprising decision if Manchester United decided to move for him.
There is no doubt that they need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, but they should aim for a younger player with more potential.
Manchester United are looking to build a team for the future. Investing in the experienced defender does not make a lot of sense. He is already past his peak, and he is no longer at his best. It would be an underwhelming acquisition for the club, and the fans are unlikely to be pleased either.
The defender could be attracted to the idea of moving to the Premier League. This could be his final opportunity to play for a big club. However, the movie seems highly unlikely.
Man United need to invest in the future
Manchester United have looked poor defensively, and they need to tighten up. It will be interesting to see if they can sign a quality young defender with a bright future. They are looking to fight for a place in the top four. They will be desperate to secure Champions League qualification for the next season. They have shown signs of progress this season, but they can be quite inconsistent. If they can add quality players during the January window, it could help them finish the season strongly.
They have already invested a lot of money in quality players in recent windows. It will be interesting to see if the hierarchy is willing to make a move for a reliable defender in January.
As for Ramos, he is enjoying his football in Mexico, and moving to the Premier League does not seem realistic for him.
