Manchester United scouts will be busy over the coming months identifying new targets for the summer transfer window.
Ineos Sports group are expected to appoint a new sporting director, with it being only a matter time before Dan Ashworth arrives once relieved of gardening leave at Newcastle.
We can expect the European – and perhaps South American – media to take advantage of that, with newspapers worldwide expected to link United with every Tom, Dick and Harry. Maybe with help from a few agents trying to build the reputation of their own client (let’s not pretend it hasn’t happened before).
According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, as cited by Football-Italia, United sent scouts to the Allianz Stadium today to watch Gleison Bremer, Giorgio Scalvini and Teun Koopmeiners when Juventus took on Atalanta.
The latter had a night to remember.
Koopmeiners gave Atalnta the lead in the first half against Juve, scoring from a well worked set-piece with a strike at the edge of the box.
The Dutch midfielder scored again to make it 2-2 with 15 minutes of normal time left to play.
