Arsenal Joins the Hunt for Thomas Meunier

DBasia.news –  Manchester United allegedly will make a squad overhaul this summer following an inconsistent performance that ended in failing to finish the top four aka Champions League zone.

In addition to releasing a number of players, United is also rumored to be bringing in new names, the sector that is said to be the main focus is defense. A number of names were included in the shopping list, Paris Saint-Germain defender, Thomas Meunier, continued to become a target after United assumes that Aaron Wan Bissaka was too expensive.

This step was carried out by Manchester United as they thought the negotiation process with PSG would run easier, especially when the conversation regarding the player’s new contract also showed no significant development. Even Meunier is claimed to be able to be brought in at a price of 25 million euros.

Unfortunately, the hope of the Red Devils to immediately secure the signature of the Belgian player seems to be going up a steep road, according to the latest report from the Daily Mail, Arsenal are also interested in bringing in the player who plays as the right-back.

The Gunners’ interest in Meunier also seems quite serious, even Unai Emery also claimed to have asked the club to hijack the player’s move to Old Trafford. Besides wanting to increase the depth of the squad, the Spanish manager also thinks that Meunier will be the right competitor for Hector Bellerin.

Unai Emery was not a stranger to Meunier, both of whom had worked together when the former Valencia manager coached Les Parisien in 2016 to 2018.

If in the end Thomas Meunier decides to continue his career into the Premier League, then he will also follow in the footsteps of his team-mates in the Belgian national team who have already made a fortune in England, such as Eden Hazard, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Michy Batshuayi.
