In the upcoming summer transfer window, Manchester United is reportedly prioritizing the acquisition of Kalvin Phillips, a midfielder from Manchester City.
The future of the 28-year-old England international has been a subject of speculation, as reported by The Sun.
City manager Pep Guardiola recently expressed regret over the limited game time received by Phillips since his £42 million transfer from Leeds in 2022. Initially, it was believed he rejected us due to a dislike for United.
However, things seem to have changed.
Erik ten Hag is reportedly a strong admirer of Phillips, despite his infrequent appearances, and believes he would be an ideal addition to United's midfield.
According to a source: “United is closely monitoring Phillips' situation. It's anticipated that he will go on loan in January, with a permanent switch in the summer. Ten Hag aims to be at the forefront of this pursuit.”
"He admires Phillips' playing style, believing it aligns seamlessly with Manchester United's ethos and the philosophy he aims to instill within the team."
Additionally, United's new investors are reportedly interested in assembling a nucleus of English players, with Phillips being under consideration.
