After signing with players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, and Daniel James last summer, it’s not surprising to hear new reports that Manchester United is once again looking to target young British players in this upcoming transfer window.
According to The Daily Mirror, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has earmarked a potential £ 20m move for Swansea defender Joe Rodon, with club legend and current Wales boss Ryan Giggs playing a major role in recommending him to the club.
Best bargains in Premier League history: how much did they cost?
World class score: 95% The | Expert score: 80% The | Veteran score: Sixty-five% The | Intermediate score: Four. Five% The | Amateur score: 30% The | Try again: 5%
The report states that Solskjaer wants to strengthen his defense this summer, and that Giggs is a “big fan” of Rodon. The United icon also urged the club to sign Daniel James from Swansea last year as well.
After learning of the links to the Championship ace, United fans turned to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the situation.

Giggs stops recommending Swansea players

Giggs should stop linking his compatriots to the club, for now we need headlines and quality, not some average championship players.

Giggsy, please stop with the Welsh bias 😭😭😭

A United fanatic simply insisted that ties to Rodon showed that the Red Devils are “becoming a second-rate club.”

While James’ form was greatly reduced in the second half of the Premier League campaign, he started the season on fire, notching three times in his first four top-tier games.
Will Joe Rodon just be another Daniel James?
yes
No
There seems to be a reasonable value for money for young players making a name for themselves in the Championship, and Rodon could be yet another star who does exactly that.
It appears that Giggs is beginning to have a real influence on the club’s transfer policy, even without being in the club.
