Manchester United want to sign Elche defender David Affengruber.
The 24-year-old central defender has done well for the Spanish club and Manchester United are keen on him. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Ruben Amorim wants the club to sign the player. He believes Affengruber could be the ideal long-term partner for Leny Yoro.
The 24-year-old will be attracted by the idea of joining the Premier League. It would be a huge step up in his career and he could play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Manchester United need to tighten up at the back and signing Affengruber would make a lot of sense.
Besides his defensive qualities, he has been a leader for Elche, and his leadership qualities could be invaluable for Manchester United.
Affengruber has been described as a “silent leader”. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will be able to complete the deal. The player is valued at £26 million. And they certainly have the financial muscle to close the deal.
The 24-year-old could prove to be a bargain at this price if he can adapt quickly to English football. He has the physical and technical qualities for the Premier League, and he could be an important player for Manchester United.
Elche will not want to lose a key player like Affengruber, but they will be under pressure to cash in if a suitable offer is presented. Additionally, the defender will likely be tempted to join Manchester United if there is a concrete offer in front of him. It will be difficult for him to refuse one of the biggest clubs in the world.
