Manchester United are exploring the possibility of making a surprising move to acquire former Aston Villa winger Anwar El-Ghazi. This interest comes at a time when there is uncertainty surrounding the availability of Antony and Jadon Sancho. According to a report from The Daily Mail, United is contemplating the idea of signing El-Ghazi as a free agent, following his mutual departure from PSV. The 28-year-old player has previous experience in the Premier League, having also played for Aston Villa and Everton. Notably, he was on the field during United’s recent defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium before the international break.
Looking at the broader context, El-Ghazi is said to be drawing interest from Saudi Arabia. However, it remains to be seen whether he would be willing to pass up the opportunity to join Manchester United. The club is considering this move due to the uncertainty surrounding their first-choice right wingers. Antony is currently on a leave of absence following troubling allegations against him, while Sancho has been involved in a public dispute with manager Erik ten Hag.
