Boca Juniors prodigy Aaron Anselmino has addressed speculation surrounding his future amidst reported interest from Manchester United. Despite being just 18 years old and having made a mere seven senior appearances for Boca, Anselmino has already attracted attention from top European clubs.
Manchester United, alongside AC Milan, have dispatched scouts to observe his performances closely, particularly impressed by his skills as a young center-back. However, Anselmino appears content to remain at Boca for the time being.
In response to inquiries regarding European interest, Anselmino emphasized his commitment to Boca Juniors, expressing his desire to contribute to the club’s success and secure titles while wearing its colors. He asserted via Ole: “My focus is firmly on Boca. I aspire to achieve victories and accolades here, adorned in this jersey. External offers have not swayed my allegiance.”
According to Argentine outlet Ole, Anselmino has issued a clear statement indicating his reluctance to entertain a move to Manchester United during the upcoming transfer window.
United should look into transfer deal for Anselmino
Anselmino currently holds a release clause valued at €20 million within his contract with Boca Juniors.
Manchester United is contemplating signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window, followed by a loan spell at another club.
From our perspective, Anselmino presents himself as a promising long-term asset for the Red Devils, particularly due to his notable defensive abilities.
In a recent Copa Argentina fixture, the teenager exhibited his prowess by successfully completing 87 percent of his passes and winning all of his ground duels.
Furthermore, he executed three clearances in addition to making two tackles and two interceptions.
Anselmino undeniably possesses the potential to evolve into a top-quality center-back in the future, and it is imperative for Manchester United to strategize on how to secure his services.
One potential approach could involve loaning him back to Boca Juniors for the following season, subsequently integrating him into the club’s first-team plans.
Given the reported interest from AC Milan as well, Manchester United must act decisively to secure his signature.
