Man united and Sir Jim Ratcliffe ready to trigger release clause to sign £35m La-liga midfield maestro as Erik Ten Hag backs him to shine at Old Trafford

Erik Ten Hag believes the £35 million La Liga midfield maestro will thrive at Old Trafford, so Man United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are prepared to activate his release clause in order to sign him.

Manchester United is reportedly prepared to activate the release clause of a top target at Old Trafford in order to expedite deals this window.

Different opinions have surfaced regarding the necessity for Manchester United to sign players during this transfer window, even though football director John Murtough hinted that the Premier League’s biggest teams may do very little business during the month in order to allay worries about Financial Fair Play.

It is obvious that Erik ten Hag needs bodies in the door to correct his team’s disorganized start to the campaign, and journalist Dharmesh Sheth of Sky Sports News has asserted that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his allies will have had a say in prospective arrivals and departures.

To GIVEMESPORT, he said:

“Hence, even though the deal hasn’t been formally ratified, INEOS would still need to be consulted on any decisions that are made regarding deals.

“They were informed of the transfer strategy when they signed that agreement, despite the fact that, as I mentioned, it hasn’t been ratified. Thus, they would have been able to influence the events that take place during this January transfer window.

Red Devils fans may be relieved by this news, but it’s still unclear who might show up in the North West during this window while they quietly consider which players to target based on their own needs.

According to reports, new information has surfaced suggesting that Manchester United is prepared to fulfil the release clause of a skilled midfield player this month.

Man Utd prepared to move Javi Guerra
Manchester United is reportedly interested in Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra and has made initial contact about a move for the Spain Under-21 international this month, according to Catalan reports.

According to the outlet, the Red Devils are willing to pay Guerra’s release clause, which is estimated to be worth €40 million (£34.4 million), in order to acquire the playmaker for Old Trafford.

Seen as a potentially significant addition to Ten Hag’s engine room, the Valencia native is regarded as a good value and, should he choose to join Manchester United, would receive a large salary in England.

Valencia’s Javi Guerra
Talent scout Jacek Kulig described Guerra as a “deep-lying orchestrator.” This season, Guerra has made 19 appearances for Valencia across all competitions, recording three goals and one assist (Guerra statistics – Transfermarkt).

This is a deal to watch because Guerra could bring a different dimension to Manchester United’s engine room going forward, both in the short and long term. Manchester United may need more variation on the field to try and reverse their inconsistent form.
