Although the midfield has been drastically upgraded this past summer with two world-class signings in the name of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, Manchester United is still said to have plans to continue upgrading the midfield. Currently, the media claims that Moises Caicedo – who has just experienced his first victory at the 2022 World Cup under the Ecuadorian shirt, is the top target targeted by the Red Devils.
According to football expert Tim Vickery, Caicedo is really a classy midfielder and is capable of playing for every team in the Big Six. Talking to GIVEMESPORT, Vickery commented:
“I think Caicedo could play for any of the Big Six teams, because he’s a top-class midfielder and he’s involved in all phases of the game, winning the ball, setting the path. play.”
Sources from the Mirror said that Brighton is valuing Caicedo up to 85 million pounds.
“Caicedo has always been able to hit the passes through tight angles, run behind the strikers and make shots on target. He’s very, very impressive.”
In fact, Man Utd had the opportunity to acquire Caicedo before the midfielder moved to Brighton. Sources from The Athletic said that the Red Devils put the Ecuadorian midfielder on their list of targets in the winter market in 2021, but in the end they decided to give up this deal.
Instead of Caicedo, Man Utd has focused on Amad Diallo, and this is also the only contract they have signed in that transfer window.
