According to reports, if Old Trafford can guarantee Champions League football, Manchester United would make a move for Ronald Araujo, a defender for Barcelona.
The Red Devils lost 4-3 to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday, enduring yet another depressing Premier League afternoon.
Because of this, Ruben Amorim’s team is unable to earn a spot in the league and is currently sagging at the bottom of the top flight rankings.
In order to return to the continental scene for the upcoming season, Man United must rely on their present European adventure.
After the game at San Mames, United leads 3-0 and will host Athletic Bilbao on Thursday night for the second leg of a Europa League semi-final.
Man United wants Barcelona star Araujo?
Football365 stories from Spain suggest that a high-profile transfer from La Liga to the Premier League’s wealth could occur this summer.
According to the rumour, struggling team Man United is interested in hiring defender Araujo before the 2025–2026 English season begins.
It is believed, meanwhile, that the Red Devils will only pursue the 26-year-old if they advance to the Champions League in the upcoming weeks.
Araujo has only started nine La Liga games for Catalonia this season, scoring one goal and dishing out one assist from the defence line.
The Uruguayan is therefore willing to think about leaving the Spanish powerhouses, particularly if his standing under head coach Hansi Flick does not improve.
Manchester United’s upcoming matches
Naturally, Man United’s ability to entice top targets to Old Trafford in the summer will be greatly impacted by how the current season ends.
Before the end of a terrible domestic season, the Red Devils had Premier League games against West Ham United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa to complete.
However, Amorim’s men are only focused on the Europa League, where they are two games away from victory and qualification to the Champions League.
