Two more weeks in Europe for the market to be open and big teams still chasing a few players. The reality is that minor teams can`t reach the money expectations and will need to let these players go. Sample of that is Monaco from France who is incapable of retaining midfielder Thomas Lemar who did a incredible season last year and is pursued by the Red Devils. Duncan Castles from the english newspaper Daily Records stated the following during the week: "Lemar, who has been aggressively pursued by Arsenal for the duration of the summer transfer window, was added to Jose Mourinho's list of attacking targets as Inter continue to price Perisic out of a move to the English Premier League”. It looks that everybody is getting desperate of getting the services of important players in Europe. The case is that Lemar is valued in 60 million euros and his 14 goals with 17 assistances in all competitions are enough to check out the value.
A curious thing of this player is their polifacetic way of play. He was used in a position in which he is not natural at all, he was set at the left flank and probably will stay in this position for Manchester United's purposes. At this point, Monaco has lost a few players already such as Silva, Mendy and Tiemoue Bakayoko, more than a frustration, it says good things about the team. They are handling very good the eye on bringing players and building them out.
Early season 2017 to 2018, Manchester United started with Marcus Rashford as the left wing, although, he is better positioned as centre-forward. Reason to think that Lemar can fit very well as left winger when the spot is available. Let`s wait for Red Devils to engage in a productive season. Now is the time to recover from last seasons!
