Scholes Warns as Man Utd Chase Real Sociedad Star Zubimendi
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, has dropped a major hint about a potential summer signing, praising Real Sociedad’s midfielder Martin Zubimendi as a “top player” who can “change a team”.

Zubimendi has been a key player for Real Sociedad and the Spanish national team, and his performances have caught

the attention of several top clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal. Amorim’s praise for Zubimendi has only

added fuel to the transfer rumors, with many believing that United may make a move for the midfielder this summer.

However, former United playmaker Paul Scholes has warned that there are several hurdles that United must overcome

before they can sign Zubimendi. Scholes pointed out that United would need to sell several players before making a

move for Zubimendi, and that the midfielder’s £51 million release clause would also need to be met.

Furthermore, Scholes noted that Arsenal are also extremely interested in signing Zubimendi, and that United would

face stiff competition for the midfielder’s signature. With Jorginho and Thomas Partey set to leave Arsenal on free

transfers this summer, the Gunners are likely to be in the market for a new midfielder, and Zubimendi is reportedly one of their top targets.

Despite the challenges, Amorim’s praise for Zubimendi has given United fans hope that the club may finally sign a top-class midfielder this summer. With United’s current midfield options looking thin, the signing of Zubimendi would be a major boost to the club’s chances of competing for major honors next season.

Zubimendi’s performances for Real Sociedad have been impressive, and he has established himself as one of the top midfielders in La Liga. His ability to read the game and block transitions has been particularly impressive, and he has also shown himself to be a skilled passer and dribbler.

Amorim’s comments about Zubimendi have also sparked speculation about the midfielder’s future at Real Sociedad. With United and Arsenal both reportedly interested in signing him, Zubimendi may have a difficult decision to make this summer.

However, it’s worth noting that Zubimendi has a long-term contract with Real Sociedad, and the club may be reluctant to sell him. United and Arsenal may need to offer a significant transfer fee and wages to persuade Real Sociedad to sell.
