Former Premier League defender Bacary Sagna has delivered his thoughts on Alejandro Garnacho's future and Manchester United's interest in Wolves star Matheus Cunha
Alejandro Garnacho has been urged to leave Manchester United this summer, while concerns have been raised over the Red Devils' interest in Matheus Cunha. United are set for a big summer in the transfer market, with Ruben Amorim looking to revamp his squad after a lacklustre campaign.
United currently sit 14th and are set for their worst ever Premier League finish, although they could still qualify for next season's Champions League if they win the Europa League. Both incomings and outgoings are expected this summer and United are pushing ahead with a £62.5million move for Cunha.
The forward has been a key player for Wolves this season, netting 12 league goals, but former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna is not convinced a move to Old Trafford is the right one for Cunha.
"Playing for Wolves and playing for Manchester United are both different types of pressure," Sagna told Paddy Power. "It's about how you’re going to cope with that pressure, with your teammates and a different atmosphere.
"Matheus Cunha is a top player and is very creative. He is very fast on the ball when he plays for Brazil. It would be a good signing but I'm not sure if it is the right signing for Manchester United.
"Any player can have a good impact at Manchester United. It's not only about one player, it's about the whole team. It will still be an amazing signing but if it means that it's on him only to turn the old squad to a successful one – then I'm not sure."
Sagna also suggested Garnacho should look to leave Old Trafford this summer, claiming United is not the "right" fit for the 20-year-old. "Manchester United need to refresh their team," Sagna added.
" Mason Mount didn't give the impact that they expected – so he might leave. We didn't see much of him. I think it's the right time for Alejandro Garnacho to move on too.
"He started well but he is at a stage where he needs to be playing more consistently. It doesn't seem right for him to be at Manchester United.
"The defence is ageing – so maybe bring in more young and fresh players. You can't change the whole team, but they need to focus on the goalkeeper first of all.
"They need a keeper that doesn't play out with his feet. A keeper must dive and stop the balls. Nowadays people and coaches are too focused on someone that can play with their feet.
"Before you can play with your feet, you need to stop taking too many risks. Manchester United have been making too many mistakes and are conceding too many goals."
