Manchester United are on the hunt for a defensive midfielder and Marco Verratti is one of the names linked with Old Trafford
Manchester United are on the hunt for a new defensive midfielder in the dying embers of the summer transfer window.
What role does he play? Verratti occupies defensive midfield role and by his own admission would prefer to go underneath the radar rather than stand out. When asked about his job for the team in 2022, he explained to L'Equipe: "It’s important [for me] to know how to manage the ball, to then bring it out and control the game.
Premier League admirers Two Premier League managers have stated their admiration for Verratti and how he plays. Current Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is a fan of his former player and would regularly praise him during press conferences. Guardiola told reporters: " I'm in love with him. He is exceptional. Even under pressure, he manages to find those passes that allow the midfield to be free. He's not a player for long passes but you can always count on him to build the game. We managed to control him better in the second half but in the first half he was really exceptional."
A goalkeeper, a midfielder and a striker were Erik ten Hag's priorities heading into the summer window, but that doesn't mean their business ends here, with further incomings and outgoings still on the cards..
