Manchester United Are In The Running To Land This Bundesliga Winger: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, AS Roma Live revealed that Manchester United are in the running to land Red Bull Salzburg winger Kerim Alajbegovic, who will join Bayer 04 Leverkusen later this summer. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils will have to compete with AS Roma, Aston Villa and Chelsea in the race to land the Bosnian youngster.

Alajbegovic’s Impressive Rise In Austrian Football

Alajbegovic has enjoyed a decent campaign at the Austrian club as he has put in a run of productive performances for them in the final third. The 18-year-old has scored 11 times and picked up three assists in 36 matches for Red Bull Salzburg this season across all competitions.

The Bosnian talent is currently one of the best gifted wide players in European football. Therefore, Man United would have to make a convincing offer if they want to recruit him later this year.

His current contract at the Austrian club will run out in the summer of 2029. Hence, the Red Devils would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting him this off-season.

Manchester United Are In The Running To Land Alajbegovic: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Alajbegovic is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to engineer some decent chances for his teammates in the final third.

The Bosnian talent can shoot the ball with power from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating a few goals for his team. He is primarily a left-winger but can also fill in as a right-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if told to do so.

We can expect Alajbegovic to add more firepower to Man United boss Michael Carrick’s frontline. He is good enough to challenge for a regular first-team spot at the Premier League club in the coming seasons.

At 18, Alajbegovic has got the potential to be a future star in European football. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the long run, so the Red Devils would be wise to step up their efforts to sign him later this year.
