Man Utd ready to trigger release clause for Belgian star
Manchester United are prepared to trigger the buy-out clause on the contract of Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, according to Marca.
The Red Devils are keen on strengthening their attack ahead of the deadline, and they could make a couple of signings.
A deal for Ajax's Antony seems a genuine possibility, but the hierarchy are also looking for another solid acquisition for the squad.
Atletico's Carrasco has been a long-term target for the Red Devils, and it appears they are now prepared to make a move.
The Spanish giants have no plans of selling him this summer, but the player has a £51m release clause on his existing contract.
United are tempted to trigger the clause with manager Erik ten Hag said to be impressed with the attacking attributes of Carrasco.
The 28-year-old winger has immense pace on the counter-attack. He is also gifted with quick dribbling skills and can deliver crosses.
He is also decent defensively and can distribute with rich efficiency. He should be a no-brainer signing for United this summer.
