Manchester United are being connected with a move for Porto midfielder Vitinha, yet his past structure in the Premier League proposes that he would add very little to Erik ten Hag's crew.
As per the Portuguese outlet, Record, United and Arsenal are 'prepared to pay' the £35m discharge provision of the 22-year-old midfielder after a great season with Porto, as he assisted Sérgio Conceição's with siding to the Liga NOS title.
With United having proactively lost Juan Mata, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Nemanja Matic after their agreements terminated, obviously ten Hag needs midfield fortifications on the off chance that United are to be a power again next season, however there is practically nothing to recommend that Vitinha would be preferable over any of the players delivered.
More awful than Matic?
In Vitinha's last spell in the Premier League, he made only five beginnings and 14 substitute appearances for Wolves, in which he contributed no objectives and one help, averaging a not exactly great 6.26 rating from WhoScored.
For examination, Matic, who has been brought together with Jose Mourinho at Roma in the wake of leaving Old Trafford, would average a 6.63 rating from WhoScored last season, in any event, contributing four helps from cautious midfield.
The Serbian was as yet considered not sufficient by enormous bits of the United unwavering and left on a free exchange, so it would be confusing for United to supplant him with somebody that plainly didn't cut it last time he was in the Premier League
Despite the fact that Vitinha was significantly better last season with Porto, averaging a 7.23 rating from WhoScored, that was with a title-winning side in an essentially more vulnerable division, and Ten Hag would unquestionably be in an ideal situation seeing more settled gifts, for example, Frenkie de Jong and Christian Eriksen who have both been connected with a transition to Old Trafford.
During Vitinha's spell with Wolves, previous chief Nuno Espirito Santo proposed that the midfielder was all the while adjusting to the Premier League and "needs to choose better" while utilizing the ball, which recommends that he would require some investment to find a workable pace with the requests of the English first class.
IT'S NOW BEEN EIGHT YEARS SINCE MANCHESTER UNITED LAST WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE CROWN. DO YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT SEASON? In the first place, WHO WAS THE CLUB'S MOST EXPENSIVE SIGNING THAT SEASON
Ten Hag needs Premier League-prepared players who can have an effect from the off, and for £35m, United would clearly be in an ideal situation searching somewhere else for new midfield acquisitions.
