Corentin Tolisso has been backed to excel at Manchester United by former player, Rafael.
According to Mohamed Bouhafsi of French outlet RMC, “Manchester United have started discussions with the entourage of Bayern midfielder Corentin Tolisso. The 25-year-old has a price-tag of just €35m!”
Tolisso has very quickly dropped down the Bayern pecking order behind Leon Goretzka, Javi Martinez, Thiago and Joshua Kimmich. He will find it hard to break into Hansi Flick’s side even when fully fit. That means United can price him away with the promise of more playing time.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been looking at reinforcements for the summer, one of which would be to sign a deep midfielder to sit behind Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. If Pogba were to leave, Tolisso could even feature in more advanced roles if needed. His former Lyon teammate, Rafael certainly thinks so.
The Brazilian defender gave a glowing recommendation on Tolisso, having shared the pitch with him in Ligue 1. He said, “One of best midfielder I play with, I think will be perfect for Machester United. Hope he goes there.”
United’s interest in Tolisso is only a part of their entire transfer strategy for the summer. Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish and Birmingham’s Jude Bellingham are all on their shortlist.
