DBasia.news – Dayot Upamecano made his debut with the French senior national team in the 1-0 win against Sweden in the UEFA Nations League, Sunday (6/9) am, WIB. The 21-year-old player made this match a means to spread charm to Manchester United.
The British giants are reportedly interested in bringing Upamecano to Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs a new center-back to strengthen his defensive line.
The match between France and Sweden has also become a place for Upamecano to show his abilities. Incidentally, in this match, the RB Leipzig defender appeared fully for 90 minutes.
Playing as a central defender in a 3-4-1-2 formation, Upamecano was solid. He managed to help Hugo Lloris keep a clean sheet.
Summarized from Whoscored, his individual statistics in this match were quite classy. Upamecano made 2 successful tackles, 3 interceptions, 3 clearences, won 2 aerial duels and his passing percentage was 85 percent.
This record was certainly good enough for a 21-year-old player who made his debut in the senior national team. This proves that Upamecano’s mentality is quite tested.
Even so, that doesn’t mean Upamecano doesn’t have weaknesses. In the match against Sweden, he failed to control the ball properly 3 times.
These mistakes can be fatal when appearing in the Premier League, where the tempo of the game is very high. This of course will also be considered by Manchester United.
If they want to bring in Upamecano, Manchester United must at least prepare 42 million euros. This amount is the release clause posted by Leipzig.
