According to reports, Adam Walton, Job Bellingham, Jurman and Andre Santos are all potential targets on Manchester United's midfield signing list, and are included in the investigation scope along with Baleba. However, in an exclusive interview with former Manchester United winger Nani Covers, he said that the Red Devils should give priority to an experienced veteran when bringing in a new midfielder to help the team reshape the balance in the midfield. Nani even named Palinha, Manchester United's ideal target.
Nani said: "Palinha is a very good player. I worked with him at Sporting CP when he was in the growth and learning stage. A few years later, he has become one of the best players in this position."
"Palinha is very strong in stealing and regaining the ball, and he also has excellent physical confrontation ability. And he has also greatly improved on the offensive end, able to score goals, participate in team connections and advance with the ball. Now He has become a comprehensive midfielder. "
"I think he is very good and can play well at Tottenham. He had a chance to join Bayern, but it is unknown what will happen next season, but he has the ability to play for any team in the world. As long as he remains healthy and stable, I believe he will have a wonderful career."
Palinja joined Tottenham on loan from Bayern Munich this summer and quickly became the core of the team's midfield. Spurs have a buyout option and the club are evaluating the possibility of signing him permanently. However, Nani believes that Palinha also fits the DNA of Manchester United very well.
Nani said: "Palinha is a player full of energy, with strong physical confrontation ability and ball recovery ability. This type is the DNA of Manchester United. The Premier League does not give you time to breathe. Players like him who can fight, press, and help the team win are valuable assets for any team."
According to relevant data, Palinha has completed 39 steals in the Premier League this season, leading the Premier League.
