Sergio Ramos: Manchester United make surprise move to sign ex-Real Madrid captain | OneFootball

Manchester United’s attack brought their A-game against Wolves, but their defence endured yet another frustrating outing.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde took advantage of some calamitous defending from the visitors to clinch Wolves’ first Premier League goal since late October.

Ruben Amorim’s back-three system has conceded 22 goals in 15 league games this term and has kept just one clean sheet all season, underlining the need of a leader to take charge at the back.

Manchester United make offer to Sergio Ramos

According to Cadena SER, as relayed by Fichajes, United have “made an offer to sign” Sergio Ramos in January.

Considered one of Real Madrid’s most successful captains, Ramos has left Mexican side Monterrey.

The 39-year-old Spaniard enjoyed a solid campaign in Liga MX, and Monterrey wanted to renew his contract. The legendary defender had no desire to listen to their offers, as he is aiming to return to Europe.

It is claimed Ramos is considering his options, and the possibility of moving to the Premier League is on the table. 

Negotiations between Ramos and United are thought to be at an early stage and “nothing is finalised”.

Ramos a no-go for Man United

The ex-PSG star’s wealth of experience and his leadership qualities make him an appealing option for most clubs.

However, his ageing legs are likely to struggle to cope with the overwhelming demands of the Premier League.

Further, Ineos want to reduce the age of United’s squad. They are reportedly in no hurry to offer new contracts to Harry Maguire and Casemiro. Both players will be free to speak to overseas clubs in January. 

Accordingly, the suggestion that United have already tabled a proposal to sign Ramos, who turns 40 in March, seems far-fetched. It is advised to take the claim with a huge pinch of salt.
