THOMAS PARTEY WANTED BY MANCHESTER UNITED Manchester United have made Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey a priority signing when the transfer window opens. That’s according to the Daily Star, who claims United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make the signing of a new defensive midfielder one of his top priorities this summer. And it’s claimed Solskjaer will focus his efforts on bringing in Ghanaian star Partey after his impressive display against Liverpool at Anfield as Diego Simeone’s side knocked the reigning champions out of the competition earlier this month. As per the report, Solskjaer wants Partey as a long-term successor to Nemanja Matic, with some talk of a potential swap deal being offered.

But Solskjaer knows the clock is ticking on the 31-year-old and it’s claimed he wants a midfielder with more mobility and dynamism going forwards – with Partey that man. However, for any move for United to happen, the Manchester Evening News claims one of two things must happen: firstly United will have to quibble over a price with Atletico Madrid, who are known to be fierce negotiators , while they also claim it may take the player to agitate for the move before it can happen. The Spanish club are in talks over a new contract with the hope that his release clause can be improved from €50m to €100m; should he sign that will almost likely end United’s hopes.
