In the 2023–2024 season, MU exposed numerous defensive weaknesses. The “Red Devils” defense has been so severely damaged by injuries that the Old Trafford squad has been forced to employ inexperienced players or use Casemiro at center back. Thus, by bringing in Araujo, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and his partners hope to enhance that.

MU has been interested in Araujo for a long time. Football 365 claims that Barcelona has only recently granted the “Red Devils” the chance to sign the Uruguayan central defender.

Barcelona hasn’t been spared from the economic downturn yet. As a result, they have concluded that they can sell Araujo during 2024’s summer transfer season. In this transaction, the Camp Nou team is hoping to get 76 million pounds.

MU hopes to sign Araujo without resorting to financial coercion. The Old Trafford team will swap Bruno Fernandes instead. In an effort to persuade Barcelona to release Antony, the “Red Devils” are even prepared to add him.

Barcelona has recently reached out to MU in an attempt to sign Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder is now on the transfer market at Old Trafford as a result of this.

Regarding Antony, MU is no longer counting on this player to have an impact. This talent hasn’t yet shown enough to make MU’s £85 million recruitment fee worthwhile. The Brazilian player may be sold by the “Red Devils” at a loss.

For MU, the summer transfer window of 2024 is anticipated to be very thrilling. Numerous players may join the red side of Manchester as the Old Trafford team is set to “overhaul” the roster. Many faces will also be saying farewell to MU.
