Mathias Diricht was not a priority for Manchester United.

Germany's TZ reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Dericht has agreed to the trend, but Bayern has yet to receive an official offer'

Bayern is having a busy summer with several candidates for recruitment due to the recent reorganization of the defense. Ito Hiroki, Stuttgart's main center back, is already on the verge of signing him by invoking a buyout, and it is reported that he is negotiating to overthrow Leverkusen defender Jonathan. Kim Min-jae, Diricht, Dayot Upamecano, and Eric Dier, who built the existing Bayern defense, will also have to change their positions.



In particular, the names of Upamecano and Kim Min-jae, who spent a long time sitting on the bench behind Dyer and Diricht in the second half of the 2023-2024 season, continued to be linked to the possibility of release, leading to rumors of a transfer. However, Bayern's choice of release candidate was already decided. It was the unlikely candidate, Diricht.

Diricht, who was nominated for release, immediately received the attention of another team. The main character was Manchester United led by former teacher Eric Tenhach. Immediately, the possibility of a transfer was predicted through leading reporters. Along with the news that Manchester United and Diricht have reached a personal agreement, there were also reports that the transfer was close. Manchester United desperately needs to reinforce its center back as Raphael Varane left the team after the 2023-2024 season. Coach Tenhach, who has been preoccupied with recruiting his old student, seemed to have set Diricht as his priority this summer.



However, it has since calmed down. Manchester United were preparing for another recruitment without handing over a specific offer. It was Lenny Yoro.

Lille defender Yoro, who is considered the second varan, is considered a complete skill due to his wide coverage and stable tackle despite his young age of 2005. Several big clubs are considering recruiting Yoro because of his pass skills. The most likely team was Real Madrid. It is known that Yoro also wants to go to Real. However, Manchester United recently persuaded Lille, Yoro's team, for a last-minute hijacking.

TZ says 'Manchester United has not held Diricht negotiations in the past three days. Manchester United are recruiting Yoro at the same time. They want to bring in one centre-back and it seems that Yoro is a priority over Diricht. However, Yoro wants to transfer to Real and wants not to decide on a club quickly. Diricht explained the current situation, saying, 'We are waiting for an agreement between Bayern and Manchester United.

In the end, Manchester United is expected to hand over a detailed proposal for Diricht to Bayern only after the failure to recruit top prospect Yoro. It is regrettable for Diricht, who was considered the top center back just a season ago.

Diricht and Tenhach's seemingly imminent reunion depends on the choice of top prospect Yoro. Attention is also focusing on whether Duricht will be able to head to Manchester United this summer.
