Overview
- Former United defender Paul Parker has called on the club to sign Conor Gallagher, praising his mentality, durability and willingness to play.
- Chelsea icon Pat Nevin says Gallagher’s energy could push Bruno Fernandes higher up the pitch and bolster United’s pressing game.
- Current reporting casts Gallagher as a backup option, with Brighton’s Carlos Baleba still viewed as the primary midfield target at a reported £100m price.
- Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo is cited as indicating Atlético Madrid would consider bids in the region of £52m for Gallagher.
- Gallagher remains an Atlético player used in a rotational role under Diego Simeone, and reports say a late-summer loan move from United was not approved.
