Brilliant Piojo Alvarado hoping to be scooped up by Manchester United after Qatar
Manchester United's defense has finally been strengthened. Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez have made significant contributions to the improved backline.
However, the Red Devils lack consistency and sharpness moving forward.
United's threat in the final third is somewhat muted.
Piojo Alvarado, a Mexican attacker, could provide United with the edge they require.
He's hoping that the World Cup in November will 'catapult him into Europe.'Manchester United, according to Heraldo, had previously'set their sights on him.'
Heraldo, who recently profiled the player, also discusses how Alvarado could be Mexico manager Tata Martino's trump card in the World Cup.
Heraldo claims that under Martino's tutelage, the Chivas payer has evolved into a "secret weapon" for the Tricolor. Alvarado's adaptability is an asset that could help him land a job in Europe.The Mexican sensation has been linked with a move to England after trials with Leicester City and Manchester City. Manchester United was also interested in the attacker.
Despite this, nothing happened, and the attacker remained in Mexico. He won the Liga MX championship with Cruz Azul, an Olympic bronze medal, and the right to represent Mexico in this World Cup.According to some, the starlet is the Tricolor's "most influential player." The Qatar tournament could be a stepping stone for Alvarado to 'emigrate to Europe' and play at the highest level.
At the age of 23, the youngster has already made 300 appearances in Mexico's top flight. He has also won several club and international titles.
The Mexican attacker is essential to the Mexican attack, and if he continues to impress at the World Cup, the Red Devils may come calling.
The entire world is watching, and United is no exception.
