Man United’s search for a midfield bargain…

After splashing cash like a kid in a candy store with unlimited allowance, Manchester United has almost emptied their coffers with a near £200 million spend this summer. From signing Diego Leon for £3.3m to bringing in Matheus Cunha for £62.5m, it feels like they’ve raided every football club piggy bank they could find. Now, with the transfer window ticking away like a time bomb and no sales yet made, United still crave more talent. With Brighton’s Carlos Baleba priced higher than a rare Pokémon card, the club might need to venture overseas for a midfield solution.

Enter Quinten Timber, the Dutch midfielder whose energy in driving the ball forward is as electrifying as a double espresso shot. With Feyenoord open to a bargain sale, Timber could be the quick-fix United needs to reignite their midfield. Although he comes with a knee injury history that looks like it’s auditioning for a soap opera, his potential still shines brightly. His twin brother might already be at Arsenal, but Timber’s own talent makes it tempting for United to roll the dice on an affordable midfield ace, without sacrificing a kidney in the process.
