Manchester United get first deal done as CL agrees to United move. The fans are happy with this deal no one was expecting this🙀 It is time to replace Shaw and Gutierrez would be a quality replacement🙀😱💯
According to Spanish media sources, Manchester United have secured a deal to sign Miguel Gutierrez from Girona. The 22-year-old previously played for Real Madrid, where he contributed to the team’s La Liga and Champions League victories two years ago. However, it is at Girona where Gutierrez has truly excelled, particularly in the last two seasons under manager Michel.
Gutierrez’s contract with Girona is set to last until 2027, and he currently earns around £280,000 annually. Interestingly, Real Madrid holds a buy-back option for Gutierrez this summer, priced at a modest 8 million euros, as reported by Cadena Ser. The Express indicates that Real Madrid intends to activate this clause but has already arranged to sell Gutierrez to Manchester United for £34 million. United are in the market for a replacement for Luke Shaw.
In the last season, Gutierrez showcased his skills both defensively and offensively. He started 35 league matches, scored 2 goals, provided 7 assists, and was instrumental in helping Girona achieve 12 clean sheets, which led to their qualification for the UEFA Champions League. Luke Shaw, although a committed player for Manchester United, has been plagued by injuries over the years. Last season, under the management of Erik ten Hag, Shaw was able to start only 12 Premier League games due to muscle problems.
Considering Shaw’s injury history, Manchester United are eager to find a dependable replacement, and Gutierrez appears to be a suitable candidate. However, the young Spaniard will have to give up the opportunity to play Champions League football next season to join Manchester United.
