Manchester United Target Crystal Palace Star Marc Guehi in Summer Defensive Overhaul

Marc Guehi To Man United: The summer transfer window promises to be active for Manchester United due to their defensive requirements which emerged after their difficult season of extensive injuries.

The club faces potential defensive market reentry due to the long-term injury suffered by Lisandro Martinez even though they spent big money on Leny Yoro Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui last summer.

As an Argentine World Cup champion, Martinez suffered an ACL tear, which now prevents him from playing throughout this season.

The recovery process for Lisandro Martinez looks promising, but health hazards raise concerns about his availability for the start of the next campaign, thus forcing United to search for defenders to cover the void. A top priority for the club is acquiring defensive depth so they search for new players inside the Premier League.

According to Fichajes, Manchester United, along with Arsenal, join Chelsea and Liverpool among top-flight clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

Marc Guehi Has Been Impressive

The England national team player stands out at Palace making him a coveted target among Premier League top clubs. Newcastle United tried last summer to acquire the services of Guehi by offering £65 million yet Crystal Palace succeeded in keeping their important defender.

Additional signings become crucial for United since it seems both Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans will leave the team after the season ends. The absence of Martinez, together with forthcoming player departures, has made securing a premium top defender a crucial managerial objective for Ruben Amorim.

Guehi faced multiple interested clubs during January, but Crystal Palace successfully defended their player, keeping him away from transfers.

Several top clubs are now actively pursuing Guehi but Crystal Palace needs to face off against this intense fight to maintain his services. Manchester United declared Guehi as their top defence signing priority as the club prepares to enact deals during the summer.
