Man United Interest in Senesi Cools After Amorim Exit as Juventus, Barcelona Advance

Managerial upheaval has slowed United's pursuit, giving Juventus and Barcelona an opening.

Overview

  • Manchester United contacted Marcos Senesi in December about a summer move, with reports saying the Bournemouth defender plans to leave when his contract expires.
  • United confirmed Ruben Amorim’s sacking on Monday and have shifted focus to interim arrangements, which has put centre-back recruitment on the backburner.
  • Juventus are reported to be scheduling talks with Senesi’s camp next week, and Barcelona have also been in touch with his representatives.
  • As a pending free agent, Senesi is permitted to negotiate with foreign clubs in January for a potential summer switch.
  • Senesi has become a mainstay under Andoni Iraola and offers set-piece threat, though the Bournemouth manager has hinted a new deal could still be possible.
