BID ACCEPTED: Manchester United have approach 23yr sensational who scored 14goals and 20assist in 30league appearances last season,Ten Hag wants Him for crucial project ahead

According to Goal Brazil, Manchester United intends to formally propose to sign Palmeiras star Richard Rios this summer.

During this transfer window, the Red Devils are reportedly trying to strengthen their engine room. It has been generally speculated that Manuel Ugarte is United’s top target, and the two parties have apparently agreed on personal conditions.

But based on the fact that Erik ten Hag’s team has expressed interest in Rios, it seems they plan to acquire more than one midfield player before this transfer window closes.

Man Utd is among those who have expressed interest in the Colombian, who has reportedly been drawing a lot of attention after a strong Copa America campaign that saw him lead his country reach the final, according to the Goal Brazil report.

According to the report, Ten Hag’s team has already inquired about the specifics of recruiting him and is preparing to make a formal offer of £17 million to get him to Old Trafford.

Rios to Manchester United
The source claims that Palmeiras will not allow its top player to depart in the middle of the season, thus it will be difficult for the all-time Premier League winners to sign him.

According to Goal Brazil, AC Milan is also considering acquiring him, thus Man Utd would have fierce competition from the Italian powerhouses if they are to complete a deal for him.

Standing six feet tall, the South American central midfielder is capable of playing both holding and box-to-box roles. He can dribble past opponent defenders in confined spaces, is powerful, quick, technically proficient, and has an eye for long-range goals. He also contributes effectively to defences.

Therefore, should Man Utd decide to acquire him, he might be a wise inexpensive addition. It would be intriguing to watch, though, if the Old Trafford team decides to strengthen their engine room by signing him during this transfer window.

Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro were already acquired by Man Utd this summer, and it is unclear how many more players will sign with the team before this transfer window closes.
