We’ve seen all kinds of bizarre transfers from Manchester United in recent years, and not only did most of them turn out poorly, but the club also spent absurd amounts of money on players like Antony, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund, and many others. The club from Old Trafford has completely lost its sense of direction, but the sporting department clearly isn’t bothered and continues to wander, seemingly determined to outdo itself once again.Five Man Utd players want to leave – only three of them have offers on the tableThe Red Devils’ forwards scored a total of just seven goals across 64 Premier League matches last season. Common sense in such a situation would suggest that they should go out and find someone to solve that problem. Instead, they brought in Matheus Cunha, who is not a traditional striker but rather plays best in a deeper role within a two-striker formation.Rather than continuing the search for a proper “number nine,” United has fallen into a new paradox. A team that needs goals as badly as a thirsty man needs water is, if all goes as planned, about to add a midfielder—not just any midfielder, but Corentin Tolisso.🚨🔴 Manchester United have reached out to Corentin Tolisso’s camp to explore a potential move!🇫🇷 The 30-year-old is interested in the project, but won’t push for an exit, while Lyon wants to keep him. 🔒[@lequipe] pic.twitter.com/7WgdSFzlZK— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) July 14, 2025 It’s baffling how someone who couldn’t get off the bench at Bayern under almost every coach could now be seen as a solution to any of United’s many problems—problems that exist in every area of the team.To be fair, Tolisso did have an excellent season and was one of Lyon’s best players, particularly impressive in the Europa League, which is where he caught United’s attention. However, it’s hard to imagine the team’s attack flourishing with the arrival of a player whose job isn’t to score goals—especially when coach Ruben Amorim likely has much better solutions for Tolisso’s position.##EDITORS_CHOICE##It remains a mystery how a player like this even ends up on United’s radar. He surely doesn’t have the quality to play even for this version of Manchester United, but he wouldn’t be the first such case in recent years of the club’s reckless spending policy. Tolisso’s market value is estimated to be around 10 million. His representatives recently rejected an offer from Turkey, but the lure of the Premier League could change things.Reportedly, even the player himself is open to the idea of playing at the Theatre of Dreams next season. Lyon, on the other hand, isn’t keen to lose one of its best players—but the club’s financial situation isn’t great, and a cash injection is necessary.Congolese defender sues Man Utd for medical adviseTolisso seems like someone they could sell for a decent sum, especially since Atletico Madrid and Saudi club Neom (which recently signed Alexandre Lacazette) are also reportedly interested.We’ll see how this bizarre story involving Tolisso and United unfolds. Considering all we’ve seen from the Red Devils lately, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if the deal goes through and the Frenchman ends up overpaid like most of the current squad. And scoring goals? That will probably still look as painful as childbirth—while the midfield just keeps getting more and more crowded.##NAJAVA_MECA_9020385##
