Tuchel retaliates against Manchester United, suggests Drapp chooses Chelsea! La Jue may rent Muani from Paris Saint-Germain

22-year-old Liam Drapp rejected Manchester United and chose to join Chelsea. He is scheduled to undergo a physical examination next Monday and complete a £30 million transfer. One of the reasons for the Ipswich striker's decision was allegedly due to the advice of England coach Tuchel. After Ipswich was relegated, Drapp's £30 million liquidated damages came into effect, so the transfer fee was not a problem for Manchester United. They also negotiated personal treatment with the player's agent, but in the end he chose to join Chelsea. Transfer expert Ben Jacobs said that Drapp made this choice because of Tuchel's intervention.

Tuchel was once the Chelsea coach and led the Blues to win the Champions League. He once had the opportunity to coach Manchester United, but Sir Jim Ratcliff chose to continue to trust Tenhager. Therefore, in Tuchel's mind, he naturally tends to be on the Blues side. He allegedly told Drapp during communication that playing in the Champions League next season will help him enter his England team and is more likely to participate in the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. As we all know, Manchester United does not have any qualifications for European competition next season.

These words seemed to help Drapp make up his mind to reject clubs such as Manchester United, Everton, and Nottingham Forest because they are not qualified for the Champions League. Newcastle United can play in the Champions League, but they have Isaac, and Drapp has a lower chance of winning the main player than at Chelsea. England captain Harry Kane is definitely the first choice for centers in Tuchel's formation, and Drapp needs to compete with Ivan Tony, Oly Watkins and Dominic Solank as a substitute.

Manchester United fans are quite dissatisfied with this and mocked Drapp for possible sitting on the bench at Stamford Bridge, as Enzo Maresca's side may continue to bring forward, and there are rumors with Portugal Sports' Djokelais. In addition, the Blues' existing center Jacquesson will not admit defeat. He has scored 10 league goals this season, only 2 goals less than Drapp.

However, no matter Drapp's fate in London, not getting him will cause trouble for Manchester United's summer transfer, as owner Jim Ratcliff will not find another player with such a high cost performance. A large number of new strikers have begun to connect with Manchester United again.

Some of these names are familiar, such as Matt Tower in Crystal Palace, Visa in Brentford, etc. But there are new candidates, such as Jonathan Burkardt of Mainz in Bundesliga, the 24-year-old striker scored 18 goals this season and sent Mainz to the European arena. The German international is suitable for the 343 formation and his liquidated damages are only 20 million euros.

If you want to save money, La Jue may also return to the familiar Ligue 1 stadium and loan French striker Krolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old Muani was once rumored to join the Red Devils in the winter window, but he finally chose Juventus, who scored 8 goals and assisted 2 times in Italy. It is said that Juventus has no intention of buying out him, and Paris Saint-Germain coach Louis Enrique will not use him either. Manchester United thinks there is a chance to loan him or introduce him at a low price.

British media "GIVEMESPORT" said that La Jue believes that £35 million can be bought out of Muani, but it may be safer to rent first and then buy. Manchester United believes that the French international is talented and may be worth a try if it can be obtained on loan.

It is said that Manchester United also wants to buy another player at the 10th position on the right. In addition to Brentford's Brian Mbemo, Brighton's Yankuba Minteh is also in the range of consideration. The 20-year-old Gambia's left-foot right winger scored one goal and one assist at Old Trafford in a 3-1 victory over the Red Devils in January. But Mint is definitely not cheap, because the "Seagulls" spent £30 million to sign from Newcastle United.
