Manchester United Are Eyeing A Move For This Talented Forward: Good Option For Carrick? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Manchester United are eyeing a move for Al-Nassr forward Joao Felix. It is believed that the Red Devils have set their sights on the Portuguese striker as they look to bolster their attack this summer.

Felix’s Impressive Form In Saudi Football

Felix has enjoyed a good run of form at the Saudi club as he has put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 26-year-old has scored 21 times and picked up 15 assists in 37 matches for Al-Nassr this season in all competitions.

The Portuguese striker is currently one of the most feared strikers in Saudi football. Thus, it makes sense for Man United to try and lure him back to England this off-season.

His current contract at the Saudi club will expire in the summer of 2027, which could open the door for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Will Felix Be A Good Option For Manchester United?

Felix is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to create some inviting chances in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The Portuguese talent can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. Felix is primarily a striker but can also serve as a left-sided winger if needed. However, it remains to be seen whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to snap him up in the upcoming transfer window.

We can expect Felix to bring more firepower to Man United head coach Michael Carrick’s frontline. He is more than capable of competing with Benjamin Sesko for a regular first-team spot at Old Trafford next season.

At 26, Felix has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent option for the Red Devils to consider at the end of this campaign. He might even help the Red Devils compete for some major honours over the next few years. With all things considered, Felix would be a decent option for the Mancunian giants to pursue later this year.
