Manchester United broke the transfer record to hire the services of French midfielder Paul Pogba last summer.
Now, they have the chance to sign another Les Bleus star in the form of Blaise Matuidi, who may leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.
According to reports (SW via Le Parisien), the 30-year-old midfielder is close to leaving the French giants and Manchester United is his possible destination. It is further stated that Blaise would welcome a move to Man Utd.
United have already offloaded Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger from their midfield. Moreover, Carrick may also leave the club this summer. In such a scenario, Mourinho must sign a creative and a defensive midfielder.
The former Saint-Etienne star is a versatile talent, who can play anywhere in the center of the park and can also be utilized in the attacking midfield.
This season, in 45 appearances for the reigning Ligue 1 champions, Matuidi has directly contributed in 10 goals (6 goals and 4 assists).
He has played 56 times for the senior national side and mainly partners Pogba and Kante in the central midfield. Blaise can form a solid midfield partnership with Paul if he ends up moving to Old Trafford.
Matuidi’s current contract with PSG will expire in 2018 and he is valued at around 19.6million euros ($21million) as per CIES Football Observatory.
