Manchester United have attempted an ambitious move for Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati in 2020, according to reports.
With the arrival of Hansi Flick at Barcelona, the Catalan giants have looked in good form on the outside, winning all seven of their opening La Liga games this season.
The German manager has put his trust in the club’s renowned academy, La Masia, and has done a great job of providing the young players with the right environment to showcase their talents. Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí and Marc Bernal have all enjoyed a strong start to the new campaign.
All eyes are now on Partey, who only recently returned to full fitness to return to the Barca squad after spending a season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The club’s number 10 had a difficult season due to injury problems, which ultimately led to him staying away from the first team and a move to the Premier League, which proved to be disappointing.
But Fatih, who was once seen as a potential successor to Lionel Messi before a serious knee injury hampered his progress, has attracted attention across Europe, including at Manchester United.
According to athleticThe Red Devils even tested Barcelona’s resolve by offering €100 million for bail in the summer of 2020.
Needless to say, the negotiations went no further and the party remained at the Camp Nou.
Interestingly, in the same year, United signed a £37m deal to sign Atalanta’s sensational winger Amad Diallo.
The Ivorian international got off to a difficult start in Manchester and had two different loan spells before Erik ten Hag included him in first-team plans at the end of last season.
Diallo has made a promising start to this term, making the right-wing position his own ahead of Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.
Meanwhile, United appear to be continuing to monitor Barcelona’s talent as they look to strengthen their ranks. Recently, The Peoples Person carried a report claiming that the Mancunians have shown interest in signing Spanish midfielder Bernal.
