Enzo Fernandez already decided between Liverpool and Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag furious

One of the highlights of the resumption of European competition will undoubtedly be the clash between Xavi Hernandez's FC Barcelona and Erik ten Hag's Manchester United in the Europa League. However, it is still almost two months away and, with a winter transfer window and several league fixtures in between, it is difficult to define favourites.

Even more so when the Red Devils have decided that they will go into the January transfer window. In this regard, and although the priority target remains the signing of Cody Gakpo, the English side, according to UOL Esporte, have also set their sights on Enzo Fernandez who, after his great World Cup, has attracted the interest of several clubs in Europe, including Real Madrid and Liverpool.

A transfer, on the other hand, would be costly for United, as Benfica are asking 120 million euros for the Argentinian. Although it is an exorbitant figure and out of the market (Enzo Fernández is currently valued at 55 million euros, according to Transfermarkt), according to the information from the aforementioned media, the Red Devils would be willing to pay it, with the clear objective of further reinforcing a squad that is already one of the most complete in the Premier League.

Something that, on the other hand, would seriously damage Xavi Hernandez's FC Barcelona, as they would see how their European rival would be reinforced with a sensational signing, contrasting with the position of the Culés who will not go to the transfer market and, therefore, will not reinforce their squad. In any case and as long as the Red Devils end up paying the 120 million clause that Enzo Fernandez has.

It is clear that his incorporation would mean a great leap in quality in the ranks of Ten Hag, which would add a midfielder with a very good touch, great commitment in the work without ball and that, in addition, has great potential in his boots. These are characteristics that, without a doubt, seem to be the culprits of the madness that Manchester United are planning and that, if it happens, would make him the star signing of January.
