Dimitar Berbatov, the former Manchester United striker, has pointed out the ideal midfield addition to spearhead Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new era at the club. Sir Ratcliffe, the INEOS Group chairman, recently acquired a 25 percent stake in the Premier League team, signaling his role in overseeing club operations and player recruitment.
Berbatov sees Joshua Kimmich, the Bayern Munich and Germany midfield maestro, as the perfect player to revitalize his old club. However, he acknowledges the challenge in luring Kimmich away from the reigning German champions.
The incoming changes at Manchester United under Ratcliffe’s leadership could signal a shift from their recent struggles to match past glories. Ratcliffe, a devoted fan of the club since childhood, is determined to steer the team toward success once again.
Kimmich, in Berbatov’s eyes, would inject fresh energy into Manchester United’s midfield. However, Berbatov questions the likelihood of Kimmich departing Bayern Munich, considering his integral role there.
Looking ahead, Berbatov ponders the club’s boldness in the transfer market under the new ownership. While Kimmich remains linked to United, his significance to Bayern Munich poses a hurdle.
Considering Casemiro’s injuries and form, United might seek a replacement. Berbatov acknowledges Scott McTominay’s presence and commendable performances but highlights the potential need for a replacement if Casemiro’s situation precludes continued play due to age and injuries.
Kimmich appears as an ideal fit for this position, yet the decision to depart Bayern remains formidable. The possibility of discussing such a transfer might arise in the summer, but Kimmich’s standing at his current club complicates matters.
The upcoming match for the Red Devils is against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend.
