Manchester United now favourites to sign Marcus Thuram amidst Inter approach

Manchester United are now the favourites to sign Borussia Monchengladbachโ€™s Marcus Thuram ahead of Inter and Bayern Munich.

La Repubblica have reported that Erik ten Hag wants Thuram at Old Trafford and he is a big fan of the playerโ€™s profile. United are looking for a striker who can replace Cristiano Ronaldo, with Inter speaking to Thuramโ€™s agents for weeks now in an attempt to find an agreement on a free transfer next summer.

Inter did put forward a four-year deal offer for the Frenchman and were willing to offer โ‚ฌ5 million per season. But now, United are trying to convince Thuram about a January move, with Gladbach looking for โ‚ฌ15 million and that is a fee which Inter canโ€™t afford this month.

Thuram wants to play in the Premier League and that could be a key factor in the situation, with United now hoping to bring the Frenchman to Old Trafford.ย
