Romano: Manchester United Privately Discussed Tagliafico but Decided Not to Proceed

According to well-known journalist Romano, Manchester United had secretly discussed Tagliafico internally, but ultimately decided not to proceed.

Journalist Romano said: “Manchester United had previously secretly discussed a potential signing target internally. Friends who regularly follow my channel may remember that I previously mentioned there was a player similar to Reguilon on Manchester United’s left-back recruitment shortlist. Everyone remembers that when Manchester United signed Reguilon from Tottenham Hotspur, his performances were quite good. So this was an experienced option, not a top-level star like Balde, but an experienced player with good ability who could provide help for the remainder of the season. That name was Nicolas Tagliafico. Tagliafico was within Manchester United’s considerations at the time. In addition, Juventus and Atletico Madrid also attempted to sign him on deadline day, but the timing was too late and the deal did not happen. Tagliafico was indeed one of the targets Manchester United considered at that time. However, Manchester United ultimately decided not to continue pursuing the move, which was a decision made by the club itself. There had indeed been contact and discussions regarding Tagliafico within Manchester United, but afterwards they decided to abandon the move and continue trusting the current squad. They have Luke Shaw and the young Harry Amass in that position. It can be confirmed that Manchester United ultimately decided to continue competing with their existing squad.”
