Manchester United\u2019s overhaul of the squad after a disastrous season is picking up pace quickly as they\u2019ve already moved on to their fourth target of the summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim\u2019s<\/a> team kicked off the transfer window with the signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik<\/a>, followed it up by moving quickly for Matheus Cunha<\/a>, and then agreeing personal terms with Liam Delap.<\/p>\n

United have also been linked to Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> in their efforts to sign another No. 10, but his transfer is dependent upon outgoings. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, they are aiming to repeat their Delap trick by triggering their release clause for another striker who scored 24 goals this season. <\/p>\n

Manchester United go into the transfer market with full knowledge that a chronic lack of goals is the main reason why they suffered such a nightmare season. <\/p>\n

That is reflected in their early transfer activity, signing one prolific No. 10 (Cunha), targeting another (Mbeumo), and agreeing terms with a striker (Delap), as per ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their financial situation means they are prioritising free transfers and players with release clauses, which is where Moise Kean enters the fray. <\/p>\n

Italian outlet Sport Mediaset<\/a> reports that United are ready to trigger the Fiorentina striker\u2019s release clause worth \u00a343.5 million. <\/p>\n

The report states that entering a bidding war for the likes of Viktor Gyokeres is not thought to be suitable<\/a> at Man Utd<\/a> considering they don\u2019t have European football on offer and are working with a small budget. <\/p>\n

Kean, therefore, hits the sweet spot of a player on the rise after a breakout campaign, and one who has prior Premier League experience. <\/p>\n

Moise Kean could be driven to set things right<\/p>\n

Kean has prior Premier League experience but saying that with confidence is the same as saying that Angel di Maria has Premier League experience. <\/p>\n

The reality is that Kean\u2019s time at Everton was a nightmare, the striker never really living up to the weight of expectations before moving back to Italy.<\/p>\n

However, now that he has rediscovered his scoring touch and confidence, he could be driven to set things right by making a move to Old Trafford<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Kean is much more seasoned now, having seen the highs and lows in his career, while his prior experience in England will speed up the acclimatising process. <\/p>\n

There are countless examples of players who struggled in the Premier League when they made the move too soon, but flourished when they returned after a spell away. <\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah famously left Chelsea for Fiorentina\/Roma before returning to Liverpool and becoming a legend. By no means it\u2019s insinuated that Kean will be as good as Salah, but it\u2019s worth mentioning before writing him off for his sour experience in England. <\/p>\n

Getting both Delap and Kean for Gyokeres money will be quite a good move for United. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United\u2019s overhaul of the squad after a disastrous season is picking up pace quickly as they\u2019ve already…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,2969,59450,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-135722","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-liam-delap","10":"tag-moise-kean","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114579422998561109","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
