Manchester United are preparing a bid for Serge Gnabry with the club ready to offer around £52m for the 28-year-old

Manchester United are preparing a bid for Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry with the club ready to offer around £52m for the 28-year-old.

The report says Ten Hag is an admirer of Gnabry, who recorded 17 goals and 12 assists in 47 matches last season, and that the United hierarchy match the manager’s enthusiasm for the player. The Reds could look to pounce on the fact that Gnbary will only have two years left on his contract next summer in the hope Bayern look for a return on their man.

Meanwhile, Fichajes says United also hold an interest in Atletico Madrid defender Jose Maria Gimenez. The 28-year-old has only played 30 minutes of football this season after missing the first three matches of the campaign with a knee injury.

However, the centre-back is in the final two years of his contract, meaning that he could be available for a cut-price next summer. Gimenez is apparently open to the idea of an exit, as are his club amid the possibility he slips down the pecking order this season. The 81-cap Uruguay star played 36 matches last season although many of them came amid the absence of first-choice defender Stefan Savic.

Manchester United are in dire need of signing a winger. In their previous match against Brighton and Hove Albion, Erik ten Hag was forced to play Marcus Rashford in his unnatural position again and it showed. Given the exile of Jadon Sancho and the suspension of Antony, it’s understandable that the Red Devils are struggling in this position currently.

But fear not, as the Dutch manager has devised a plan to strengthen in this position and I feel like fans are going to like this one.

According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United are preparing a bid worth around £52m to convince Bayern Munich to part ways with Serge Gnabry. The 28-year-old versatile attacker is under contract at the Allianz Arena until the summer of 2026.

Let’s not forget that the two titans Manchester United and Bayern Munich come up against each other tomorrow night in the Champions League. While it’s a mere coincidence that the interest has emerged on the previous day, who knows whether there could be some early behind the scenes talks between the two clubs.
