Man United scan for Pogba and Matic replacements in the Bundesliga

A month and a half before the start of the summer football market, a striker, possibly Darwin Nunez, was marked as one of the main priorities of Manchester United. However, until they jump into massive transfer deals, the Red Devils' sports sector could finalize a couple of less resounding reinforcements for Erik Ten Hag.

This evening, the distinguished French outlet L'Equipe wrote about the potential exodus of football players from the Bundesliga, which could be largely sponsored by the Old Trafford giant. As the Red Devils will soon be left without Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matić, it would be worth finding adequate replacements, and the talented French international Kouadio Kone found himself on the radar of the biggest Premier League clubs.

A 21-year-old of Ivorian descent was on loan in Toulouse last season and as far as his stats in Bundesliga go he made 27 appearances for Gladbach, with two goals and an assist, and who, in addition to the basic position of a central midfielder, can adjust to more defensive and offensive tasks. If United were to go after him, it is possible that competition in the form of Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Leicester City would be there to make it difficult for Man United.

The sixth-placed club in the Premier League last season was even more specific in the case of Nordi Mukiele, the right back of Red Bull Leipzig. United's operatives took the first step and presented the people from Bundesliga with their interest in the 24-year-old, who already has close to 150 appearances in the German elite.

In the summer of 2018, Leipzig bought Mukiele from Montpellier for 16 million euros, but as the defender entered the last year of his contract, it is believed that between 10 and 15 million euros would be enough for United to get the guy whom Transfermarkt estimates at 25 million euros.

The fact that - apart from playing regularly as a right back - Mukiele is capable of covering a wide range of positions, can only help. He often played as a sweeper, occasionally in the midfield. Behind him is the Bundesliga season with 28 appearances, one goal and four assists, while in the Champions League he was regular in the starting eleven and scored and set up a goal each.

Manchester United have right-backs Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bisaaka. The Portuguese played almost constantly in the second part of the season, while Wan-Bissaka was not to Ralf Rangnick's taste and his future at the club after the arrival of Ten Hag is still uncertain. In 2019, United paid Crystal Palace a huge 55 million euros for the Englishman of Congolese descent, and as his contract expires in two years, this summer is an ideal opportunity to get back a part of that money.
