Manchester United have added another name to the list of their winger targets in the summer, according to reports.
A new right-winger looks set to be yet another priority for another year at Manchester United with questions only becoming more and more pertinent about that position with Erik ten Hag’s big-money signing last summer, Antony, struggling to impress.
Alejandro Garnacho has lined up on the right for the Red Devils in recent weeks and the Argentine has proven to be a revelation on the opposite side for United.
Michael Olise has been linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer but the Frenchman’s injury problems have meant another target could be sought after.
United’s new target
According to a report from the Daily Mail, United have another target in mind if they decide that signing Olise would be too risky.
Wolves winger Pedro Neto has now been linked with a move to Old Trafford with conversations taking place amongst those at United.
Since his return to the team under Gary O’Neil, the winger has two goals and eight assists for the Midlands side this season in just 15 Premier League games.
His creativity off the right-hand side could be key for United with their current options on either side failing to provide the consistent service for Rasmus Hojlund.
Hojlund has five goals in his last five league games for the Red Devils and adding a consistent creative threat from the right-side could be the key to getting the best out of the Dane.
Neto’s contract
The winger signed a contract in 2022 which will keep him at the club until 2027 so it may well be a difficult challenge for the Red Devils to get him out of the Black Country.
Neto netted a stunning equaliser against United but thanks to Kobbie Mainoo, the Red Devils picked up a 4-3 win but the winger’s goal was excellently taken.
A move to Old Trafford certainly seems like a realistic prospect and it now looks like the club agrees with this statement and he could be a target come the end of this campaign.
Gary O’Neil labelled the winger ‘incredible’ when speaking to the BBC and the 23-year-old could well be the revolutionary attacking signing United have been looking for.
