United’s winger pursuit takes sharp twist with Ineos now ready to go all out to sign attacker compared to Ronaldo – report

Manchester United have shown interest in AS Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche ahead of the summer. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming both Liverpool and United sent their scouts to watch the Frenchman in action against Olympique de Marseille last week. However, Liverpool may gain an edge in the race for Akliouche’s signature due to their north-west rivals’ different priorities. Manchester United to focus on signing left winger According to Football Insider, Manchester United are interested in signing Maghnes Akliouche. However, the attacking midfielder, who is also capable of playing as a right winger, is unlikely to be a priority signing for United as “he’s more of a right-sided winger than a left.” United are set to prioritise a left winger, which pushes Akliouche “down the pecking order for their targets.” It is claimed Aston Villa left winger Morgan Rogers is United’s “dream left-wing signing” this summer. The Red Devils have also been strongly linked with RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and Everton talisman Iliman Ndiaye. Manchester United turn attention to signing Morgan Rogers Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke claimed that United remain keen on Rogers despite Aston Villa’s £100 million valuation. The report states: “They are unfazed by such demands and could make a move for him this summer.” However, Villa might still try to block the England international’s exit for another year in the event they qualify for the Champions League.
