Man United Closing in – €39.5m Move will Seal 5th Signing

Manchester United have secured two top midfield signings this summer by luring Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Not to forget, the Red Devils already have Herrera, Carrick, Fellaini and even Blind as midfield options. Still, they are looking to sign more midfielders.
According to latest reports, Manchester United are closing in to sign Argentine international and Lazio’s star defensive midfielder Lucas Biglia.
The South American star played a pivotal role for the Serie A side last season and helped them earn Champions League qualification.
As per the above given Daily Star link, Manchester United made an offer of 25 million Euros to sign Biglia however, Italian outlet Corierre dello Sport claim that the bid was rejected and only an offer close to €39.5m will seal the signing for Red Devils.
Biglia featured in 27 league games for Lazio last season, scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists as well.
Moreover, he formed a brilliant midfield partnership with Mascherano for Argentine in the Copa America but unfortunately La Albiceleste lost the final on penalties.
In my opinion, it really makes no sense for United to splash the mentioned asking price for a player who will turn 30 next year.
The Red Devils must focus on hiring a top quality central defender and a proven goal scorer to further reinforce the squad for next season.
