This huge Argentinian star was offered to Manchester United

Last summer, Manchester United realized that they urgently needed to strengthen their midfield, because the players they had were not performing at the level required by the Red Devil shirt. In addition, the ones they had were not to the liking of Ten Hag, nor of the Manchester fans, who were fed up with seeing their team lose week after week.

Players in midfield like Fred or Scott McTominay weren't playing well, and the great signing of Eriksen wasn't making a big difference either, so Manchester United went into the market looking for an urgent reinforcement.

Due to the magnitude of the institution that is Manchester United, the team was linked to dozens of players in the press, the transfer rumors were countless. However, a name that did not come to light at the time was that of Leandro pAredes, a 28-year-old Argentine who at that time was playing for Paris Saint-Germain.

According to several reports, Leandro Paredes was offered to Manchester United, before the Argentine went to Juventus. However, the Manchester United board rejected him, and they chose to pursue other goals, and they went for Casemiro instead.

Will Manchester United regret it?

Currently the club is going in a good direction, after being on a 4 victory streak in the Premier League. The midfield is performing well, however, there are players who do not have a replacement, if they were to get injured. The English team could regret rejecting Paredes and therefor not having squad depth.
