Manchester United leader Eric Ten Hagar has sought an urgent pay rise and reinforcements immediately after losing his first game in the Premier League. As plans to acquire Frankie Dijon are progressing slowly, the team is reported to have initiated an alternative plan to target French midfield star Rabiot. United and Juventus have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement on a £15 million transfer fee and are currently negotiating Rabiot's personal contract terms. However, Rabiot's mother, who is also his agent, is known for her difficult personality and could be a hindrance in the transfer process.
The Athletic UK have revealed that Manchester United are closely monitoring the progress of Frankie Dijon's contractual dispute with Barcelona and are ready to do both. They are in talks with Juventus over the transfer of Rabiot. As Rabiot only has one year left on his contract, Juventus would also like to send him away, so it is not difficult to "release" him. The Sun noted that the two sides have discussed a transfer fee of 15 million pounds.
However, Rabiot's mother and agent, Veronique, is a pain in the ass. The "star mother" has clashed with the director of Paris Saint-Germain in the past, demanding to accompany her son to away training sessions, forcing her way into the training ground to observe practices, and even openly criticizing the team's tactics and formations. Industry insiders have called the negotiations with Veronique a "nightmare", and many United fans are worried about Ten Hag, fearing that after sending away Paul Pogba, there will be another "trouble maker".
