According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Luis Henrique is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Marseille winger. However, Everton and Newcastle United are also keen on signing the Brazilian from the Ligue 1 club.
Luis Henrique has established himself as one of the most promising young wingers in Ligue 1 since joining Marseille from Tres Passos in September 2020. However, the South American prospect had to bide his time before establishing a foothold at the French club, and he has landed on his feet under the tutelage of Roberto De Zerbi.
The 23-year-old has been a regular for Marseille this season, contributing to 17 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net nine times and providing eight assists. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe, including Everton, Newcastle United, and Manchester United.
Everton will likely dip into the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Jack Harrison’s long-term future. While the Toffees are reportedly ready to seal a permanent move for Jesper Lindstrom, they need more firepower from the flanks. So, Brazilian winger Henrique is a viable target for Everton.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Luis Henrique makes sense. The Tyneside outfit did not replace Miguel Almiron after the Paraguayan international rejoined Atlanta United in the winter transfer window. So, Eddie Howe wants more competition for Jacob Murphy’s spot, making the Marseille winger an option worth considering.
As for Manchester United, Alejandro Garnacho faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford heading into the summer transfer window. In addition, the Red Devils want to seal permanent exits for Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony in the coming months. So, Henrique has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
Manchester United’s entry into the picture complicates matters for Newcastle United and Everton, although the former will likely offer UEFA Champions League football next season. It will be interesting to see where the 23-year-old Brazilian winger plies his trade next season if he moves to the Premier League.
