Manchester United transfer news is heating up as the Red Devils are reportedly set to make a move for Sunderland's promising young midfielder, Chris Rigg. The 17-year-old, who has been catching the eye with his lively performances, could be part of a major summer overhaul under new boss Ruben Amorim.
While United still have a hope of making it to the Europa League final, their form in the Premier League has been a concern—only 10 victories in 35 games—which highlights the pressing need for new signings. This renders Manchester United transfer news particularly timely as the club targets priority areas in midfield and up front.
With a transfer for Wolves star Matheus Cunha nearly across the line, technical director Jason Wilcox and head of recruitment Christopher Vivell are wasting no time in turning their attentions to targets in midfield. On their radar are Atalanta's Ederson and Sunderland's Chris Rigg, already labelled a "Duracell bunny" by one of his previous managers due to his energy on the pitch.
Rigg downplayed suggestions of a switch to Old Trafford when he was interviewed by The Telegraph.
I don't take heed of any of the speculation," he said. "I have much more pressing things to be concerned about, such as attempting to get Sunderland promoted."
Nevertheless, the Manchester United transfer news merry-go-round won't slow down just yet. Amorim is keen to remodel the team around his favored 3-4-2-1 shape, and bringing in youthful dynamism such as Rigg's could be a move both for now and the future.
As more news comes out, supporters will be keeping a close eye on Manchester United transfer news for confirmation of what would be one of the summer's most exciting signings.
