Man United, seriously considering to bring in also new midfielder — almost sure in case Casemiro leaves.
Understand Mexico captain Edson Álvarez is one of the option discussed internally, appreciated by ten Hag.
It’s difficult deal, as West Ham considers him as key player.
Edson Álvarez’s future could lead to one of the big teams in Europe. And it has been announced that Manchester United would be interested in hiring the current captain of the Mexican National Team.
This comes before Mexico’s participation in the 2024 Conmebol Copa América, which will be held in the United States. And although the midfielder is gathering with the rest of the squad at the behest of technical director Jaime Lozano, the reality is that his entourage is already studying this exciting opportunity ahead of the 2024 Premier League season -2025.
Erik Ten Hag wants Edson Álvarez at Manchester United
It was Dutch-born coach Erik Ten Hag who was keen on the addition of Edson Álvarez, who had emerged in the América youth ranks, as a new signing for Manchester United.
In this way, they will seek to cover up the impending departure of their Brazilian rival, Casemiro. And the former Real Madrid will negotiate his move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Hierro. That’s why the Red Devils want to get the services of a player who knows English football and also knows how Ten Hag works.
That’s where Edson Álvarez comes in, as he was their player when they were both at Ajax Amsterdam, winning the Eredivisie and achieving many records. But then they went their separate ways, the coach went to Man United and Edson went to West Ham United, and now they can meet again.
Edson Álvarez will be the second Mexican to play for Manchester United
If this comes to fruition, Edson Álvarez will become the second Mexican player to play for Manchester United, following the historic move of central striker Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández, who brought them the title in the same season as dream 2010-2011.
With this, Edson Álvarez will join Manchester United’s discipline, which has already revolved around the quality of young stars such as Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho and English midfielder Kobee Mainoo, with a clear target. Obviously returning to dominate Europe like they did under Sir Alex Ferguson.
