Man Utd have opposed the chance to sign German ace, Jerome Boateng. That’s according to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, who alleged they are ‘not considering a move.’
Despite Varane’s looming arrival, it has been theorized Man Utd could in fact sign two centre-halves this summer.
Boateng remains an elite level defender, though at 32, his days at the top are certainly numbered. Bayern Munich saw the writing on the wall when allowing Boateng to leave as a free agent.
Joining Man Utd is Boateng’s ‘dream’ move. With his love of Bayern strong, Boateng would reportedly prefer not to play for another German side.
Picking Boateng up may have appealed to Man Utd in the recent past. But it appears a short-term outlook is now in their rear-view mirror at least as far as Boateng is concerned.
