He is the defensive and intercepting midfielder that Manchester United needs. If he joins, it will be like adding a lock to the defense. His attacking abilities are yet to be developed, with fewer forward passes and key passes compared to the league average. However, his coverage and ability to directly confront opponents are unmatched. He may not be compatible with Enrique's style, which prefers midfielders like Busquets or Rodrigo. In the Copa America, Uruguay had an average possession of 53%, with 21% of passes going forward, and he was a key midfielder. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain had an average possession of 63% in the Champions League, with only 14% of passes going forward. Manchester United already has many players who can distribute the ball, what they need is a solid barrier in front of the defense. At 23 years old, he is in his prime and can handle multiple competitions, giving Manchester United more options. The key question is how his chemistry with Fernandes will affect the team's performance and final ranking.
