Fulham had been heavily linked with Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have been linked with a range of midfielders who could potentially replace McTominay in the squad.
After having two bids rejected by United, it’s now believed that Fulham have moved on.
In what could be quite an ironic plot twist, Fulham are now seemingly after a player that has been recently linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Shortly after news emerged that United were moving on from Manuel Ugarte, all sorts of names were being reported in the media as to who was the alternative to the PSG midfielder.
One of those names have been linked with a move to England for a very long time.
Fluminense midfielder Andre Trindade first came to the attention of English football fans when he was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool.
Before the Merseysiders brought in Wataru Endo, many believe that Andre was on the way to join Jurgen Klopp’s side.
However, nothing emerged from that.
More recently, Andre has been linked with Manchester United as well as Fulham.
And now it seems that Fulham have had two bids rejected for the midfielder.
South America football expert Tim Vickery was on talkSPORT and discussed the current state of affairs for Andre.
Fulham’s Andre bid rejected by Fluminense
According to Vickery, Fulham have offered between £20-£25m for the midfielder, but Fluminense have said no.
Vickery believes that the value of Andre, who is only just coming back from a long term injury, has gone down since Liverpool were in for him. So the Brazilian side may need to take whatever they can now.
Fuham’s biggest challengers for his signature are labelled as Manchester United, who Vickery claims have been looking at the player. He’s believed to be a player who could play alongside Kobbie Mainoo in that United midfield and cost a lot less than Manuel Ugarte too.
So it seems that there might be something there.
If Andre can show the form that caught the eye of several clubs last season and can be purchased at a reasonable price, he could prove to be a shrewd signing for Manchester United.
