Brighton are reported to be ‘agitated’ over reports midfielder Alexis Mac Allister could leave amid Manchester United interest.
Manchester United have Alexis Mac Allister on a list of potential signings this summer, reported Fabrizio Romano earlier this month.
The Argentine is said to be optimistic he will leave for a new challenge, reports 90 Min, and this is now rubbing Brighton up the wrong way.
The impressive manner Brighton have progressed this season is making the Seagulls optimistic they can qualify for Europe next season.
90 Min report Brighton are ‘agitated’ behind the scenes over Mac Allister’s desire to move on.
Mac Allister in the mix
I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of Manchester United moving for Alexis Mac Allister at all. He is a forward-thinking player who could become an excellent partner for Casemiro.
Mac Allister could play the ball progressor role United wanted Frenkie de Jong to fill, and alternate with Christian Eriksen.
The World Cup winner proved his quality for Argentina in Qatar and has been a consistent performer for Brighton this season, netting 10 goals this season so far.
He played well against United in the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend, testing David de Gea with two shots on target.
Mac Allister might not be the flashiest or most exciting name, but he is Premier League proven and could be an excellent signing for United if the club get it done.
Brighton are not happy, clearly, but they are going to find it really tough to keep hold of him this summer.
