[Wheeler, Salt] REVEALED – the two Bournemouth stars on club’s radar and the rivals United will have to fend off this summer : Manchester United are monitoring Bournemouth duo Junior Kroupi and Marcos Senesi.
**Manchester United are monitoring Bournemouth duo Junior Kroupi and Marcos Senesi ahead of what is shaping up to be a summer of change at the Vitality Stadium.**
It was confirmed on Tuesday that manager Andoni Iraola – who has been linked with the United job – will leave the Cherries at the end of the season, and he is unlikely to be the only departure.
**Kroupi is attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs, notably Liverpool and Chelsea, as well as teams in Spain.** The talented 19-year-old forward is well known to United after scoring the equaliser in Bournemouth’s 4-4 draw at Old Trafford and again in the 2-2 draw on the south coast last month.
**Meanwhile, Senesi will leave the Vitality at the end of the season after four years, and the 28-year-old Argentina centre back is of interest to United and other clubs because he will be a free agent. Chelsea and Tottenham, if they stay up, are also expected to be in contention.**
**Among the other players on United’s radar this summer are two youngsters: Jeremy Monga, the 16-year-old Leicester City winger, and Kennet Eichhorn, also 16, who plays as a defensive midfielder for Hertha Berlin.**
Head coach Michael Carrick has confirmed that United’s bid for Champions League qualification will shape the club’s transfer strategy. Despite Monday’s surprise defeat by Leeds, United are well on course to finish in the top-five.
‘The Champions League just brings so many positive things,’ said Carrick. ‘It’s where we want to be. It has ramifications for so many different things – players staying, players coming in, financially all sorts of different things.
‘There’s obviously work that’s going into planning for the summer, there has to be. If you finish in certain places in the league, financially, it makes a lot of difference.
‘But there’s certainly work going on in terms of what can be done in trying to move forward in improving the squad and making the best of what we’ve got.’

Both of them would be good additions to the squad. We should maybe bring in their manager as well

Our recruitment team need to take lessons from the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford.. till we don’t win big trophies and are not back at the top, we need to spend smart and uncover talents like these clubs do. We cannot spend big during this time so our recruitment needs to be as smart as ever…

Kroupi is great, but I think we got more pressing matters than another striker.
>Meanwhile, Senesi will leave the Vitality at the end of the season after four years, and the 28-year-old Argentina centre back is of interest to United and other clubs because he will be a free agent. Chelsea and Tottenham, if they stay up, are also expected to be in contention
The Tottenham bit make me laugh so hard

Iraola should be on our shortlist.

I wanted Senesi when he was still at Feyenoord when we were looking at signing a left footed CB under Ole but I just can’t advocate for signing another CB who is weak in the air now when we already have Lisandro and Yoro in the squad.
Casemiro is leaving, and Maguire,De Ligt, Sesko, Dalot(for a fullback) and maybe Heaven are the only players who are competent in the air.

I’m surprised we’re not being linked to Truffert or Scott at all. Truffert would be a massive upgrade on Shaw and likely wouldn’t cost what Newcastle would demand for Hall, and Scott would be a good depth signing for midfield imo.
