Manchester United Are Eyeing A Move For This Paris Saint-Germain Midfielder: Good Choice For Amorim?
In a recent report, journalist Rudy Galetti mentioned that Manchester United are eyeing a move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. It has been revealed that the Red Devils are eager to get a deal done for the French talent this summer. Zaire-Emery's Impressive Run Of Form In Ligue 1 Zaire-Emery enjoyed a decent campaign at the French club after he put in a string of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. The 19-year-old made 48 appearances for PSG last season, scoring three times and earning two assists in all competitions. Advertisement The talented midfielder did well to make 51 tackles, 35 blocks and 23 interceptions in Ligue 1. He was even accurate when distributing possession from midfield based on his pass completion rate of 92.8% in the French top tier (stats via Zaire-Emery is under contract at the French club until the summer of 2029 which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap in this transfer window. STUTTGART, GERMANY – JANUARY 29: Warren Zaire-Emery of Paris Saint-Germain is challenged by Atakan Karazor of VfB Stuttgart during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD8 match between VfB Stuttgart and Paris Saint-Germain at Stuttgart Arena on January 29, 2025 in Stuttgart, Germany. (Photo by) Will Zaire-Emery A Good Choice For Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim? Zaire-Emery is a tough-tackling midfielder who can scan the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually clears his lines when the opposition are on the front foot and is an accurate passer of the ball. Advertisement The French sensation can even chip in by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team. However, the jury is still out on whether he can cope with the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League. We can expect Zaire-Emery to add more bite and steel to Man United boss Ruben Amorim's midfield. He is good enough to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club next season. At 19, Zaire-Emery has got a bright future ahead of him which makes him an excellent choice for the Red Devils to pursue this off-season. However, Amorim has to be patient with his progress before he can get the best out of the gifted talent. All in all, Man United would do well to get a deal over the line for him in this summer transfer period.

Man Utd told to snub £270m transfer trio for ‘proven' star Arsenal bid £60m for
Manchester United have been linked with the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Viktor Gyokeres this summer - but they should be directing their focus towards Ollie Watkins, says one club legend Paul Ince believes that Manchester United should look to sign Ollie Watkins this summer. The Red Devils have been working hard to improve Ruben Amorim 's squad since the opening of the transfer window, securing Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5million move earlier this month. Recruiting proven firepower is thought to be a priority at Old Trafford in the coming months, given that Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to have much of an impact in the Premier League in 2024/25 - scoring a combined seven goals. And as a result, United have been endless in their pursuit of Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, while also showing an interest in the likes of Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. An initial bid of £55m for Mbeumo was rejected, but it is thought that their improved figure exceeding £60m may get a deal over the line for the 25-year-old winger. Gyokeres, meanwhile, has also proved to be a tough acquisition for Amorim and the United board. While Arsenal are thought to have held pole position for the 27-year-old striker, who found the back of the net 39 times in the Primeira Liga this season, it appears as though the Red Devils are now back in the running - although a move could cost another £60m. Newcastle United talisman Alexander Isak is another of the summer transfer window's most talked-about names having impressed at St. James' Park since arriving from Real Sociedad back in 2022. However, the £150m price tag set on the 25-year-old - given that he is considered one of the best goal-scorers in Europe at present and is under contract with the Magpies until 2028 - may prove off-putting to a cost-cutting United side. With those players totalling as much as £270m, Ince, who played at Old Trafford between 1989 and 1995, believes that his old club could find a far cheaper solution in Aston Villa's Watkins this summer. Speaking exclusively to Mirror Football this week via the RIFE Don't Miss Challenge, the 57-year-old said: "The one I'd probably go for, if it was available, would be Ollie Watkins. I think, obviously, he's proven year in and year out he scores goals. "He can run it behind, he's quick, he can hold the ball up. He's got all the attributes of a striker that you want. And if you look at the way he was kind of pushed out towards the back end of the season when [Marcus] Rashford came, there might be something. "He won't be happy about not playing towards the back end of the season. So, there might be something doing. Maybe not, that's down to Ollie and his agent and getting it sorted out. But if I was trying to bring a striker in, I'd bring in Ollie Watkins. "And I think it would take a lot of weight off Hojlund. Rasmus Hojlund is a young striker and he's been asked all last season to play at the biggest club under the biggest expectations, under the biggest pressure and the biggest spotlight to score goals. "And, you know, it's not happened for him and he's been criticised for it - and I think sometimes a bit unfairly. I think he's one of those young players who maybe needs to maybe go on loan somewhere for a year, score goals or just be a support act for whoever they bring in so he's not under pressure every time when he starts a game. "And that coincides with United being poor, United not playing well, players not adjusting to the system. It's been a tough, tough year for him but he'll learn. It's character-building. "But he needs that striker where he can just say, 'Right, well, the pressure's not on me to go and score a week in and a week out, and when the game opens up, maybe I can get 15, 20 minutes on the pitch where I can - hit the back of the net.' "But it wasn't just the goals and people just talk about the goals. I think, you know, he's got to work on his hold-up play. For me, he needs to be a lot, lot better at his retention of the ball. But these are all things you expect from a young player, but things that he needs to be working on every day." It comes after Arsenal made a bid for Watkins in the January transfer window to the tune of around £60m, which left Villa officials fuming given it was made public just two hours before their Champions League clash with Celtic. Watkins impressed in the Premier League this season, finding the back of the net on 16 occasions in 38 appearances while providing eight goals overall - and should United be serious in bolstering their lead line ahead of 2025/26, the 29-year-old would undoubtedly fit the bill.
