Manchester United is reportedly considering a surprising move to sign Weston McKennie, a player who experienced relegation with Leeds United last season.

As Manchester United prepares for the summer transfer window, they are expected to be active in the market, particularly in midfield. However, the rumors linking McKennie to Manchester United came as a surprise to many.

With the recent arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Manchester United, fans anticipated the club being linked with high-profile names. Despite their recent struggles, Manchester United’s stature and reputation still make them an attractive destination for top players.

However, it is always wise to have alternative options in case the primary targets cannot be secured. This is where Weston McKennie fits into the picture for Manchester United.

According to GiveMeSport, manager Erik ten Hag has identified McKennie as a potential signing if Martin Zubimendi cannot be acquired this summer. It has been suggested that there are doubts surrounding McKennie’s future at Juventus, and the club may allow him to leave before the start of the next season.

McKennie had a difficult spell during the second half of last season when he was on loan at Leeds United. The team struggled under Jesse Marsch when the 25-year-old American joined, and there was considerable excitement surrounding his arrival at Elland Road.

However, McKennie’s time at Leeds United was far from successful, as the team only managed to win three Premier League games in which he played. Unfortunately, Leeds United was ultimately relegated, and McKennie returned to Juventus.

If McKennie does end up at Manchester United this summer, it will undoubtedly prоvоke interesting reactions among fans and observers.
