Man United and Liverpool are reportedly interested in a Premier League winger who came to England in January.
However, it is understood that the Red Devils would like more firepower in attack, as Cunha is more of a central player, and Dorgu isn’t a natural attacker either. Man United want to sign a new left-winger in an ideal world, but especially as Bruno Fernandes’ future is uncertain, they will need more reinforcements across their front line.
Liverpool also wants to sign a winger, as Mo Salah is nearing an exit, and the Reds have never fully replaced Luis Diaz, who joined Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
Man United and Liverpool eye Rayan deal
Brazilian winger Rayan joined Bournemouth in January from Brazilian side Vasco de Gama for a fee of around £25m. He was the Cherries’ long-term replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who joined Man City for £65m.
Rayan had been on the radar of several Premier League clubs, as he is one of the most exciting prospects in Brazilian football, and he has not disappointed so far. Since moving to Bournemouth, Rayan has made seven Premier League appearances, scoring two goals, and providing one assist.
According to TeamTalk, both Man United and Liverpool are interested in Rayan ahead of the summer, with PSG and Real Madrid also keen. The 19-year-old reportedly has an £86m release clause in his contract at the Vitality Stadium, and seeing as he has just moved, the Red Devils would likely have to pay that much if they wanted to bring him to Old Trafford.
Rayan is a versatile attacker who can play on the left and the right, and even as a centre-forward if necessary. He could be an attacker to build a team around, and a real difference-maker up front.
Man United and Liverpool also targeting Yan Diomande
Diomande is one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting talents and has reportedly attracted interest from Bayern Munich. This season, the Ivory Coast international has made 28 appearances for Leipzig, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists.
Much like Rayan, Diomande can also play on either wing, which would be very useful, however, the Ivorian is openly a Liverpool fan, so it could be tough for United to land him considering that the Reds are also keen to sign him in the summer transfer window.
