Marc Guehi is in demand

Graeme Bailey told TBR Football: “I said months ago that Marc Guehi is going to be one of the most in-demand Bosman free transfers of all-time, and that is how it is shaping up.

“Every major club in England, now including Manchester United, are keen, whilst abroad, it is a who’s who of world football from Real Madrid and Barcelona to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. He is going to have his pick.”

It will be interesting to see if they can convince the England international defender to join the club on a free transfer. Alternatively, they could look to sign him for a nominal fee in January. Manchester United could certainly use a quality defender, and Guehi would be an excellent addition. He has proven himself in the Premier League with Crystal Palace, and he helped them when the FA Cup and the Community Shield recently. 

Apart from his quality as a defender, Guehi’s leadership skills could prove to be vital.
