On June 1st, we carried a report from DH, who explained that Manchester United are ‘very close’ to signing Thomas Meunier.
The Belgium international’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain runs out in 2020.
Earlier this week, he confirmed the Ligue 1 winners are planning to cash in from his sale in the summer, even though the defender’s desire is to continue at the Parc des Princes.
The 27-year-old has sat down for an interview with French newspaper L’Equipe, and was if he’s waiting for a ‘sign of confidence’ from Thomas Tuchel’s side after expressing his hopes to stay at PSG.
Meunier replied, “The club knows my intentions. I was open to my fourth year here and signing a new contract. It will be their decision; everything is in their hands.”
L’Equipe quote Meunier as saying: “I have contacts (the newspaper say this is with Manchester United and Arsenal), but my intention is to stay at PSG. If this is not possible, we will find a solution.”
Meunier is a Manchester United, something he’s repeatedly made known.
The 20-time English champions are in the market for a new right-back. Whether or not that will be Meunier remains to be seen.
