Fikayo Tomori: Manchester United interested in signing AC Milan centre back
Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori. As per Calciomercato, over the past few weeks, United have shown interest in the player. The Englishman has had a stellar 2021-22 season, winning the Serie A with Milan. He has gradually established himself as one of the best centre backs in Italy. Tomori was instrumental in Milan’s Scudetto win. United are pushing to sign Ajax’s Lisandro Martinez, and have reportedly submitted a €50 million bid. The Eredivisie champions are still holding out, and want United to increase their offer. In case the deal does not happen, Tomori would be a superb option. The 24 year old has the experience of playing as right and left centre back. His speed would allow Man Utd to play a high line, which would suit Erik ten Hag’s style of play. Tomori has excellent composure and reads the game very well. On the ball, he has the ability to play short and long passes, and help break lines from deep. The former Chelsea man has good experience of playing in the Premier League and was exceptional in the 2019-20 season under Frank Lampard. Milan have no intention of selling Tomori and are planning to extend his contract by two years. United would have to pay a hefty fee to land the Englishman, so could look at other alternatives.
Man Utd could partner Harry Maguire with another England centre-back next season
Manchester United could partner up Fikayo Tomori with Harry Maguire next season. As per reports, the AC Milan centre-back, who was one of the standout performers for the Serie A champions last campaign, is admired by Man United. According to Corriere della Sera, Erik ten Hag’s men have expressed interest in the former Chelsea centre-back, even though the report goes on to state that the Rossoneri intend to extend the player’s contract until June 2027. His contract deal is up in 2025 but Milan intend to give him a raise in his wages, as well as extend his stay with the Italian giants. Tomori joined Milan on loan from the Blues for the remainder of the 2020–21 season with an option to buy - and the club exercised that right at the end of the season, joining up with the club on a permanent basis for some £25m.
