Juventus center midfielder Weston McKennie is finishing of his best season with the Bianconeri since joining the club as a controversial acquisition from collapsing Bundesliga giants Schalke in 2020.
McKennie has been more decisive this season, recording seven assists for the third-placed Old Lady, which is his highest single-season total since recording a measly two in his debut Serie A season.
The 25-year-old has worked hard for the team, per usual, recording 1.5 tackles per game and starting in both center and right-sided midfield roles.
Even though this is McKennie’s best season with Juventus, he could still be sold this summer. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Juventus and Weston McKennie have failed to agree to a new contract, which is why the Bianconeri are considering a transfer.
The Italian outlet reports that Premier League giants Manchester United are interesting in signing McKennie due to his impressive performances in the 2023/24 season.
There are still doubts about McKennie technically, but he has made serious progress as an attacking player this season and is a well-rounded box-to-box midfielder.
Manchester United may want to aim higher, but they may not be able to sign many truly top players this summer due to their struggles in 2023/24.
McKennie could be an economical and popular player among fans and players in the locker room. He’s smart, he works hard, and he has shown this season that he can create enough chances for his teammates.
Often in the right place at the right time, McKennie could be an economical summer signing for Manchester United as a rotational player, supplementing a top midfielder for Man United as they look to replace Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, Christian Eriksen, and potentially even Casemiro in 2024.
