Manchester United are interested in signing the Colombian midfielder Richard Rios at the end of the season.

They are looking to bring in a combative midfielder in the middle of the park, and they have identified the 25-year-old as a target. Casemiro will leave the club at the end of the season, and they need more quality and physicality in the midfield.

Rios has been linked with Manchester United in the past.

Richard Rios could be a handy option

Rios is not a defensive midfielder, but he will add physicality and defensive steel in the middle of the park. He has been described as a “versatile player” who can operate in central midfield, defensive midfield, and as a box-to-box midfielder.

The opportunity to move to Manchester United could be attractive for him.

According to reports from Spain, Manchester United have now made formal contact with the player’s representatives regarding a potential move. He has done quite well since joining Benfica, and the Portuguese outfit will not sell him for an offer below €35 million.

Manchester United have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
