As reported by the Express, Manchester United have been given a boost in pursuing LOSC Lille defender Sven Botman, while Liverpool are not pursuing his signature.
The 20-year-old defender came through youth at Ajax and only moved to Lille last summer. Since joining, Botman has made a good impression in France. He has appeared in all 23 Lille games in all competitions and has conceded nine goals.
Botman’s impressive accomplishments had put him on both Manchester United’s radar and arch-rivals Liverpool. However, The Athletic’s James Pearce, who is moving to Twitter, has ruled out the Reds taking a step for the Dutchman. (h / t Express)
“No talks about a deal for Sven Botman. Liverpool are not considering a move for him. Sounds like someone is trying to raise the price / interest in the Lille defender. ”
With that, Manchester United left the field open to start a move for the 20-year-old center-back in the January transfer window.
Manchester United’s backline has blown hot and cold throughout the season. Neither Harry Maguire nor Victor Lindelof looked solid enough. The latter is also struggling with a chronic back problem.
Eric Bailly has done well in the last few games but his sketchy injury record remains a cause for concern. With Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not part of the plans, it makes sense for the club to recruit a new center-back.
Botman doesn’t have much experience at the highest level. But the Dutchman has made the right noises so far during his time in Lille and made him an attractive target.
With Liverpool now out, we have a clear run in his signing. However, it remains to be seen whether the club will start a train.
Man United are turning down Serie A’s offer to sign a loaned teenage ace for the remainder of the season.
