Man Utd scouts observed a £20 million “diamond” but have only one day to finalize the transaction. He is France’s fastest player. This summer, Manchester United is in search of a cost-effective midfielder, and one potential candidate has emerged in France as a viable option.

 

 

 

The midfield is one of the numerous positions that are being pursued this summer; however, the limited availability is a result of the priority classification. Therefore, Manchester United is being associated with strikers such as Victor Osimhen and forwards such as Bryan Mbeumo,

 

 

 

 

while the midfield is being associated with less expensive players. One potential bargain midfield acquisition that United have been linked to is Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney. In the interim, United is also interested in Chris Rigg from Sunderland, as the adolescent is considered a generational talent.

 

 

 

 

Scouts have been observed observing Algeria vs Sweden during a blockbuster 4-3 friendly game, and these are not the only midfielders that United is considering. In which, Christopher Vivell’s spies were particularly intrigued by one player.Manchester United spies have been monitoring Hicham Boudaoui.

 

 

 

 

Ineos consistently maintained a shortlist of potential candidates for the position of number eight, as Christian Eriksen’s departure further weakened the midfield department. Midfield was a priority for United a few months ago. Nevertheless, it was quickly ignored as the attack was underway; however, it is currently being addressed.

 

 

 

 

According to the report, United is contemplating the acquisition of a midfielder at a reduced cost. The OGC Nice player has been identified as a potential candidate, as observers observed him perform well despite leaving the field with a 4-0 deficit. In the game, Boudaoui demonstrated exceptional passing range, evaded pressure during the build-up,

 

 

 

 

and won all of his ground duels, all while United’s eyes were on him. Boudaoui is considered one of the most talented midfielders in France, and Datascout has identified him as the fastest defensive midfielder in Ligue 1. Additionally, he is highly regarded for his high-intensity sprints, which are sure to impress Ruben Amorim.

 

 

 

 

Premier League, Spanish, and German clubs are all in pursuit of the Algerian. Nice would request £20 million in exchange for Boudaoui, who has been referred to as a “diamond” in club media. Nevertheless, there is one caveat to a prospective deal for Ineos. The Sun reports that United observers were present at the Strawberry Arena in Sweden last week for the

 

 

 

 

international friendly featuring Hicham Boudaoui, the focal point of Algeria’s midfield.The Boudaoui transaction cannot be finalized by United until September 1st. It is unsurprising that United would be interested in Boudaoui, given his relentless work ethic and ability to run at a high pace, which aligns with Amorim’s frequent directives for his players to sprint like dogs.

 

 

 

 

Nevertheless, United is unable to finalize the transaction at this moment due to a FIFA regulation that was implemented to prevent intra-ownership transfers. Consequently, United is unable to recruit any Nice players until September 2025, when the transfer deadline is on the first of the month and closes at 7 p.m. Therefore, if United determine that Boudaoui is the individual they wish to add to their midfield,

 

 

 

 

they will have only one day to finalize the transaction. This appears to be an insurmountable challenge, given the transfer activity of Ineos this summer. It is our expectation that Ineos will conclude its business prior to the deadline. However, if a midfielder is still required, this could be a viable strategy to strengthen the team.
