Manchester United join Marc Guehi race

Manchester United have joined the race for Crystal Palace central defender Marc Guehi, according to TBR.

Guehi is out of contract at Palace at the end of the season, with the England international central defender having decided that he will not put pen to paper on a new deal with last season’s FA Cup winners.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have already been keen on Guehi, and now Man Utd have joined the race.

Journalist Graeme Bailey said: “I said months ago that Marc Guehi is going to be one of the most in-demand Bosman free transfers of all-time, and that is how it is shaping up.

“Every major club in England, now including Manchester United, are keen, whilst abroad, it is a who’s who of world football from Real Madrid and Barcelona to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. He is going to have his pick.

“But I am told as relaxed as he is on the pitch, he mirrors that off the pitch, but that is another big part of his appeal. His character is a huge reason why all these clubs have no qualms about going for him.”
