According to recent reports, Manchester United's chances of signing Boca Juniors' promising young player Aaron Anselmino may have suffered a setback. Anselmino himself has indicated that he is currently focused on his current club and not considering a move elsewhere.
Manchester United has been strongly linked with the 18-year-old talent in recent times. There have been reports suggesting that the club is trying to sign him and then loan him back to Boca Juniors. However, new reports suggest that a deal is unlikely. Anselmino has publicly downplayed the transfer rumors, stating that his commitment is to Boca Juniors. He expressed his desire to win titles with the club and emphasized that there has been no contact from other clubs.
Although Anselmino has a release clause of just €18.5 million, which could be tempting for Manchester United, it seems that the player is not eager to join them at the moment. United may have to wait for an opportunity to sign him or consider focusing on other priorities.
Manchester United is a highly reputable club, and it remains to be seen if Anselmino's stance changes in the future. However, it is likely that there will be other clubs across Europe interested in his talents.
Given that Raphael Varane is not getting any younger and his contract is approaching its end, and Harry Maguire has fallen out of favor under the management of Erik ten Hag, a talented young center-back like Anselmino could be an excellent addition to Manchester United in the near future.
