Sun: Atletico Madrid recommends Gallagher to Manchester United on the summer window deadline, but is rejected

According to the Sun, Atletico Madrid recommended Gallagher to Manchester United on the summer window deadline, but was rejected.

25-year-old Gallagher was recommended to Manchester United by Atletico Madrid on the summer window deadline, but Manchester United finally chose to sign goalkeeper Lamons first. Manchester United said that the midfield is not their focus of signing this summer, because there are already many multi-functional midfielders such as Casemiro, Ugat, Menu, B Fee and Mount.

However, Manchester United plans to strengthen the midfielder next summer, when Casemiro's contract expires and leaves the team. There is also uncertainty about Maynu's future within the team, and Manchester United rejected his loan application last month.

Although B Fee and Mount are traditionally organized midfielders, Ugat has gradually lost his main position since joining Paris Saint-Germain for £50.75 million last summer, and failed to start in the Premier League win at the end of last season.

It has been reported that Atletico Madrid has been priced at £52 million since last summer. Manchester United may consider meeting this price in the winter window next January.

Gallagher joined Atletico Madrid for £33 million from Chelsea last summer, starting only 19 of his 38 La Liga games last season. So far this season, he has only started once in the first five league rounds and was replaced in the half of the game losing to Espanyol.

Gallagher has made 22 appearances for England, but is not selected for Tuchel's recent World Cup qualifiers, and his contract with Atletico Madrid will last until 2029.
