Guirassy has improved significantly since his time at Amiens but his profile is not too dissimilar to the player that Potter was keen to welcome to his ranks at the Amex Stadium. Thus, signing a player that a potential future manager has already eyed could be viewed as a smart piece of business by Ratcliffe and the Glazers.
According to The Mirror, United have already made contact with Guirassy’s entourage to discuss a move and personal terms, and that could put them in a strong position to strike a deal early in January before other clubs pounce, with numerous other outfits eyeing his £15million release clause. Arsenal and Tottenham are also said to be among his admirers, but the prospect of becoming United’s No. 9 could prove decisive if a wage war breaks out with other contracts on the table.
