Transfer News: Manchester United make contact with the agent of Dan-Axel Zagadou

According to transfer news from Fussball Transfers (h/t SportsWitness), Manchester United are interested in luring Borussia Dortmund star Dan-Axel Zagadou on a free transfer in the summer. 

Dan-Axel Zagadou joined Dortmund from Paris Saint Germain in 2017. The centre-back enjoyed a good spell in his initial years with the German club. However, recurring knee injuries have ravaged his performance in recent seasons. The French ace missed many matches in the current campaign following knee surgery and has only managed to make nine appearances across all competitions.

It is believed that the Red Devils are interested in signing Dan-Axel Zagadou when his contract at Dortmund expires in the summer. The Red Devils board have made their intentions clear to the French defender’s agent, Moussa Sissoko. 

Man United current interim manager Ralf Rangnick attempted to sign Dan-Axel Zagadou for RB Leipzig when he was still playing at PSG. However, the deal never materialized. But, now, the German manager is believed to be the ‘driving force’ behind the transfer. 

Red Devils’ defenders have continued to show defensive vulnerability throughout the season. Club captain Harry Maguire has made quite a few mistakes which led to the Man United defence conceding several goals. Furthermore, Victor Lindelöf has fallen from the pecking order and is currently out of action due to injury. The arrival of Raphaël Varane was termed to be the solution, but that hasn’t been the case.

Due to Maguire and Eric Bailly’s injury, Tangnick was pushed to call back Phil Jones, who played his first competitive game for the first team against Wolves after two years. It is evident that the former RB Leipzig manager is struggling with the depth and would require to bring reinforcements soon.

Dan-Axel Zagadou is young and could have a successful future at the club. However, in the last three seasons, the player has constantly struggled to hold his fitness. The Red Devils board should consider his injury proneness when negotiating. But as he would become a free agent in the summer, Ralf Rangnick should take a bet on him.
