Manchester United have signed two midfielders already this summer, with Andrey Santos joining from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans moving from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
Tielemans is comfortably United\u2019s best bit of business this summer, having moved to Old Trafford after INEOS triggered his \u00a335 million release clause. Villa wanted to keep hold of their most reliable midfielder, but his heart was reportedly set on becoming a Red Devil.<\/p>\n
Now, one of his former teammates is supposedly keen on playing for United.<\/p>\n
Manchester United is Douglas Luiz\u2019s dream club<\/h3>\n
Douglas Luiz spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa and has now returned to Juventus.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old Brazilian enjoyed a promising first stint at Villa before moving to Juventus in 2024. However, since then, he has struggled to find form.<\/p>\n
According to TuttoSport, Luiz has attracted interest from clubs in Brazil, but he wants to return to England, and specifically to Manchester.<\/p>\n
It is claimed that \u201chis dream is to join Manchester United,\u201d where he hopes to rediscover his form in grand style.<\/p>\n
The former Manchester City midfielder is known for his ball-carrying ability and high work rate.<\/p>\n
The Italian outlet adds that United and Juventus share a good relationship. As such, there is a possibility of a swap deal involving Luiz and Joshua Zirkzee.<\/p>\n
Manchester United want to offload Joshua Zirkzee<\/h3>\n
In recent days, Zirkzee has been linked with the Serie A giants, who intend to strengthen their attack this summer.<\/p>\n
United, meanwhile, are open to part ways with the Dutchman, who has not managed to get on the scoresheet on a regular basis in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
However, earlier today, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed that Juve have agreed a deal worth around \u20ac45 million to re-sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f Luiz\u2019s form and age do not align with United\u2019s transfer plans.
\u26a0\ufe0f Juventus have struck an agreement to sign another striker.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/affiliate-christmas-campaign-25-1500x300-en-uk-min.png\")
