Manchester United are eyeing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi as a potential addition to their squad, according to the latest transfer news and gossip.
Manager Erik ten Hag is keen on strengthening his team, having already secured signings such as Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro this summer. Zubimendi has emerged as a target amid ongoing efforts by Ineos Group’s new sporting director Dan Ashworth to bolster the squad.
The 25-year-old Spanish midfielder reportedly has a £53 million release clause in his contract, making him a viable option for United as they assess midfield targets. Former Real Sociedad B team coach Xabi Alonso has endorsed Zubimendi’s qualities, highlighting his selflessness and playmaking ability.
