Manchester United Will Recruit Santiago Arias

DBasia.news – Reportedly, Manchester United will recruit a new right-back in the near future. He is Santiago Arias, who is now unemployed as he is not tied to any club.

In fact, the Manchester United transfer market last summer was not 100% successful. There are several targets that failed to be carried off.

An example is Erik ten Hag’s request to sign a new right-back. He wanted a competitor for Diogo Dalot. Meanwhile, Aaron Wan-Bissaka was not part of his plans.

The expected player to join is Segino Dest. The footballer from the United States is a former player of Ten Hag at Ajax Amsterdam.

However, Manchester United received rejection from Dest. The defender prefers to continue his career at AC Milan. Barcelona let him go on loan.

Due to an urgent need, Manchester United finally looked at players who were not tied to the team until the transfer window closed. That way, Man United can bring him in as clubs in Europe are still allowed to bring in players who are free transfers.

According to Johnson Saenz’s report, the player is Santiago Arias. He was a former Atletico Madrid player last season.

During his career in LaLiga, the 30-year-old defender made 51 appearances. From that opportunity, he recorded 2 goals and 2 assists.

Reportedly, Arias and Manchester United have reached an agreement on the value of the salary and the duration of the contract. The Colombian player will be tied to a contract for the next two seasons.

Currently, Manchester United is completing the Santiago Arias transfer documents. If Arias joins, the exit for Wan-Bissaka in the next transfer window will be wide open.
