Another deal could save Man Utd as Mourinho plans to destroy Rangnick

Jose Mourinho has made Manchester United star, critical of Ralf Rangnick’s lineup, the main transfer target for January, although another deal could be their salvation, according to several reports.

Rangnick began his life at the winning streak at Manchester United. The red devils kept their nerves in the face of stubborn opposition from Crystal Palace and old enemy Patrick Vieira. But with 13 minutes left and the score to a standstill, the unlikely Fred character popped with a miracle goal that captured all three points.

Stabilizing United’s shaky defense was at the top of Rangnick’s early agenda. Unless Jordan Ayew got a golden blade opportunity, the Palace attackers remained silent at all times.

Part of the reason United was able to keep its opponent at bay was due to Rangnick’s system.

His 4-2-2-2 lineup filled the midfield and his demand to push United’s players up the field allowed them to win the ball back in the opponent’s half at regular intervals.

However, such a system places more emphasis on the backrest to provide width. Alex Telles and Diogo Dalot kicked off the match with both defenders, better known for attacking than defending.

Dalot robbed the right wing and offered the most defensive Aaron Wan-Bissaka unable to.

Mourinho makes Dalot January’s “main goal”

However, According to the Daily Mail, the Portuguese could attract regular playing time from Jose Mourinho in January.

Quotation Gazzetta dello Sport, the article claims that Mourinho has set Dalot as its “main destination” in January. Mourinho signed Dalot in 2018, although he struggled for minutes under his successor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Dalot had been hinted at returning to AC Milan in the summer after making an impression on the loan last season. The deal did not materialize in the end, which opened the door for Serie A competitor Roma.

Dalot’s current contract expires in 2023, which means a decision on his future must be made during future windows. Corriere dello Sport previously reported a a loan with a call option of around £ 12.5 million was in their minds

The loss of Dalot would almost certainly require United to sign an aggressive replacement. However, a a more recent report from Calciomercato has suggested that United can be saved from making a difficult decision.

Another Prem option could solve the Dalot dilemma

The Italian journalist acknowledges Mourinho’s desire to have a real defender in January. However, they put Norwich City in the frames of Max Aarons.

They claim that Norwich’s “gem” has already made an offer for its services, which Roma has submitted. The loan agreement with the call option is on the cards. This is the same transfer structure that previous reports have stated that Roma would offer from Dalot.

Norwich apparently “clearly rejected” their approach. However, they have not given up hope of reaching an agreement.

His € 22 million valuation and reported € 1.4 million annual salary per season are well within Rome’s reach. If Rangnick and United stick to Dalot, it looks like Roma could plunder their resources for the Aarons deal.

Borussia Dortmund, Everton and Tottenham are also in the Aarons raffle.
