As per reports, the Old Trafford outfit are close to signing the player for a fee of around £71m.

Apparently, Saul has a release clause of around £130m but Atletico Madrid are prepared to cash in on him for less because of the losses they have faced this summer.

The Coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the club’s finances. 

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can finalise the move in the coming weeks. 

Saul is a top class player who could develop into a star. He would be a tremendous signing for Manchester United if they manage to pull it off.

He will add composure, technical ability, drive and defensive cover to their midfield. Saul is a good dribbler as well and he will help open up spaces for his teammates. 

With Paul Pogba expected to be on his way out this summer, Manchester United need a top class replacement. Saul could be that option for Solskjaer.

He could form a very good partnership with Fred and Bruno Fernandes next season.

United will be hoping to challenge for the title next year and they will need players like Saul in order achieve their goals. 

The Spaniard has proven himself in Spain and in the Champions league. There is no reason why he cannot succeed in England.
