Manchester United and PSG in the battle for the future Pogba. Will Camavinga replace his idol at Old Trafford?

Eduardo Camavinga has slowly matured on the sidelines and it’s time for him to move on to a better team. Two clubs in particular are in the running to compete for the talented midfielder. They are Manchester United and PSG.

Currently, the French midfielder is 18 years old and has made 82 starts for Rennes A-team, in which he managed to score 2 goals and assisted 5 more. He has even been called up to the French national team, for which he has already made 3 starts and even scored one goal.

And given that the 182 cm tall all-rounder is only under contract with the French outfit that nurtured him for big football until next summer, it is expected that he will be cashed in so that he doesn’t leave for free next year.

The Transfermarkt server has valued Camavinga at 55 million euros, but according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are offering 30 million + bonuses.

However, the Red Devils are not the only ones in the game for Paul Pogba’s French successor! PSG also want Camavingu vehemently and other leading European clubs are monitoring the situation. However, these two teams seem to be the closest to the Rennes mainstay.

That being said, many are touting him as Paul Pogba’s successor. But they are a little different. Camavinga is much better in terms of defensive work and also movement. In the Premier League, speed and acceleration is very important and the 28-year-old midfielder has to make up for it with his excellent technique, which the French talent no longer has at the level of his great role model.

However, as Camaving is only 18 years old, he still has a sea of time to improve! And that’s why he will definitely choose the team where he will have a better chance to play.

A lot of talent has already hit the ground running at Manchester United. However, one can believe that he would find his place on the pitch. Moreover, there is still a very uncertain situation around Pogba, whose contract is also expiring next summer, which will most likely be resolved this summer.

There is also a lot of talk about Manchester United buying the talented Frenchman already this summer, but still keeping him for one more season at Rennes.

After that, Camavinga would be much closer to the starting lineup. Currently, the two central midfielders account for 5 players, with Pogba and Donny van de Beek being more offensively minded. So, the 32-year-old Nemanja Matic and 24-year-old Scott McTominay are direct competition for the talented midfielder.

With the Scottish midfielder, however, he could easily start at the same time. Both of them are versatile midfielders who can play great both backwards and forwards. Deploying both, however, would deprive Manchester United of the creativity they definitely have closer to Camavingo, whose long passes will be precise with a little more experience.

Thus, when playing against stronger teams, with the Red Devils playing primarily on the counter-attack, this pairing would definitely make sense!

Either way, engaging Camavinga would definitely make a lot of sense for Manchester United even if they were to build a team around him. After all, we are talking about a player with immense talent who will most likely be one of the best at his position in the future.
