The Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester United can sign Lewin without signing to replace Hoylen, who may leave the team.
Hoylen's Manchester United career is about to come to an end, at least this season. If the Red Devils get their wish in the next few days, he may even say goodbye forever.
The Danes, who has firmly been in the main center position since joining, has already had doubts about his future, and with the addition of Sesco, he further lost his position. Unfortunately, his performance last season failed to prove to coach Amorin that the offensive end needs to maintain the status quo.
Hoylen has repeatedly failed to carry the banner at Old Trafford. Although he may feel unfair, after all, Cesco will receive stronger forward support in the new season, his fate seems to be settled. Manchester Evening News learned that AC Milan is interested in Hoylen, and Manchester United is confident of completing the 22-year-old player's deal.
If the transaction is completed before the deadline on September 1 as expected, the Red Devils will face the center position to fill the gap. Although Cesco has just been introduced, the only substitute is the young Obi Martin or Zilkze who is more suitable for the No. 10 position. Considering that Obie Martin is still awkward and Zilker performed better in the position of the film forward, Manchester United may need to equip the Slovenian with a stronger substitute, but the finances have become an obstacle.
Manchester United's spending this summer has hit a sky-high price. Even if Hoylen and Garnacho are sold permanently, they still need to be cautious about the substitute signing budget. Fortunately, they still have visa-free options.
Lewin may not be at the top of Manchester United fans' wish list, but the deal does have some merit. First, the visa-free nature minimizes the transfer risk. Secondly, it is rumored that he fired his agent to independently promote the transfer and has a strong willingness to join. Furthermore, the age of 28 means that his peak period may not come, and Amorin is also confident of activate his potential. Finally, as a key Premier League experience as a substitute, he had already proven that he could make a difference in England's top stadiums, which is an ideal plan B.
Of course, if Lewin is regarded as the main center of this season, it is indeed worthy of alertness. But as a substitute signing, this is undoubtedly an extremely pragmatic choice when Hoylen's stand-in budget is tight.
