Manchester United Are Set To Rival Arsenal For This Real Madrid Playmaker: Should Amorim Snap Him Up? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Manchester United are set to rival Arsenal for Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz this summer. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are showing interest in bringing the Moroccan attacker to Old Trafford.

Diaz’s Decent Season In Spanish Football

Diaz played an important role in Los Blancos’ squad in the previous campaign as he put in a handful of impressive displays in La Liga. The 25-year-old found the back of the net six times and secured seven assists in 52 matches for Real Madrid last season across all competitions.

The Moroccan talent proved his worth in the opponent’s half and did well to attempt 1.82 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga football. He kept 53.6% of his attempts on target. Diaz was even accurate when distributing possession after completing 86.8% of his attempted passes in the Spanish first division (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Spanish club will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

Should Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Snap Diaz Up?

Diaz is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it in the final third. He has got the vision to create some inviting chances for his teammates to score and can strike the ball with venom from long range.

The Malaga-born sensation mainly operates as a right-winger but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player or play as an attacking midfielder if told to do so.

Diaz would undoubtedly enhance the quality of Man United boss Ruben Amorim’s frontline. He is good enough to earn a regular first-team spot at Old Trafford next season. He is already familiar with the Premier League following his spell at Manchester City and won’t take much time to adjust to life in England.

At 25, Diaz has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a worthy target for the Red Devils to consider in this summer transfer window. All in all, Amorim should go all out to snap the Real Madrid wide player up ahead of the new campaign.
