Roma attacks on two fronts Manchester United fullback Maracia may join Sancho

After locking in Sancho, Roma is extending his signings to another Manchester United marginal player. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Red Wolves have contacted Manchester United on Tyrell Maracia's transfer. The Dutch left-back was loaned to Eindhoven in the second half of last season. The defensive toughness shown in 12 appearances (2.1 steals per game, 68% success rate) attracted the attention of Roma's technical team. It is worth noting that the negotiation opportunity stems from Roma's follow-up bid when discussing Sancho's transfer - Manchester United's asking price for Sancho is a forced buyout plan of £20 million, while Malaysia's transfer may adopt a similar framework.

Maracia, 26, completely lost her position at Manchester United. The new coach Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 system already has four left-wing guard candidates, Dorgu, Leon, Dalot and Luke Shaw. Data website FBref shows that although Malaysia's offensive participation in the Dutch Eredivisie last season (0.9 key passes per game) was not outstanding, its success rate of 4.3 defensive confrontations per 90 minutes (Opta data) just fits the tactical requirements of Roma coach Gasperini for the full-back - it must be able to stabilize defense in the three central defender system, and also have the mobility to intervene. However, there are still variables in the transaction, Besiktas is also eyeing the Dutch, and the players themselves prefer teams that can guarantee the starting chance.

This potential transfer reflects the smart strategy of the Roman Swift: under a limited budget, Director Thiago Pinto is maximizing the efficiency of signings through 'bundled negotiations'. If Sancho and Maracia are successfully packaged, it will not only enhance the impact of the two wings (Sancho completes 3.7 passes every 90 minutes in the Premier League last season), but also solve the problem of depth on the left side. For Manchester United, cleaning up redundant players can save about 8 million euros of annual salary expenses, but the Manchester Evening News pointed out that the club needs to be vigilant about the thickness of the defense line - after Maracia left the team, only Luke Xiao left behind Manchester United left behind, which may explain why Roma's inquiry has not triggered a substantial offer. The game in the last 48 hours of the transfer window will test the crisis handling wisdom of both management.
