Midfielders, winger and full-back: Four Newcastle stars who could transform Man United next season
Manchester United are set to face Newcastle United in the Premier League later today.
The Red Devils arrive with renewed swagger, revitalised since Michael Carrick assumed the managerial reins.
One way to ensure that United continue to have a competitive squad is to invest heavily this summer.
INEOS will pay special attention to today’s encounter, with four Newcastle stars who could be valuable additions to the Red Devils.
Sandro Tonali
It is no secret that United intend to recruit at least two new midfielders this summer to reshape the engine room.
Tonali is one of several names on that list. Comfortably operating as a hybrid number six/number eight, he covers ground relentlessly and thrives in duels.
His running power could also bring out the best in Kobbie Mainoo.
While the Italy international would likely command a lucrative pay rise at United, Newcastle would demand a significant transfer fee to even entertain negotiations.
Bruno Guimaraes
Guimaraes is a proven Premier League performer, having joined Newcastle in January 2022.
An elegant yet incisive distributor, he possesses the vision and range to prise open stubborn defences.
Nine goals and four assists in 23 league appearances this campaign underline his attacking influence.
Though not a traditional holding midfielder who relishes crunching tackles, his leadership could be beneficial to United, especially if Casemiro departs.
Lewis Hall
Hall is one of the brightest talents in the league who looks ready to take the next step in his career.
The 21-year-old could play in midfield but has operated more regularly at left-back.
Hall already has experience of over 100 senior games for Chelsea and Newcastle.
We believe Hall could represent a long-term successor to Luke Shaw, offering technical quality and attacking thrust from deep.
With Shaw’s injury record a recurring concern, reinforcing this department next summer feels imperative.
Anthony Gordon
The shift back to a 4-2-3-1 system has amplified the need for a dynamic left-sided attacker.
Gordon has played in English football throughout his career. He is enjoying the most productive season of his career, with 21 combined goals and assists.
At 25, he is entering his prime and has showcased his pedigree on the Champions League stage with 10 goals in the competition.
United need right-footed wingers who can operate from the left flank, and Gordon features on that list.
