Man Utd consider shock loan swoop to sign Harry Kane's Bayern Munich team-mate as Ruben Amorim looks to beef up Red Devils squad

FIFA Club World Cup

Bayern Munich

<p>United are exploring a loan move for Bayern Munich midfielder Palhinha after being priced out of a deal for Atalanta’s Ederson. The 29-year-old defensive midfielder, who joined Bayern for £48 million ($65m) from Fulham last summer, has struggled to lock down a regular starting spot and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joao-palhinha-hints-bayern-munich-dream-gloomy-assessment-debut-season/blt1fc3bdc375b92a27" target="_blank">could be allowed to leave temporarily</a>, with internal talks ongoing between the Bavarians and the Red Devils, according to <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/manchester-united-transfer-news-ready-explore-loan-deal-joao-palhinha-old-trafford/" target="_blank">GiveMeSport</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim is eager to add a Premier League-proven midfielder to his squad as funds are limited following the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-activate-matheus-cunha-wolves-gbp62-5m-release-clause-set-old-trafford-switch-next-week/bltbf0207ae0202a630#cs3d93180ed1fd47af" target="_blank">£62.5 million ($83.4m) signing of Matheus Cunha</a>. Palhinha fits the profile, and his experience in England could help stabilise a midfield lacking physical presence. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-set-steep-final-price-tag-alejandro-garnacho-chelsea-atletico-madrid-interest-shock-reunion-erik-ten-hag-mooted/bltfbf32a2a9a00d4e7" target="_blank">United are also prepared to offload Alejandro Garnacho</a>, among others, to free up resources for the loan signing of Palhinha.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Bayern initially preferred a permanent sale, valuing the Portuguese star at around £30 million ($40m), but are now considering a loan to help Palhinha rediscover form. He still has four years left on his contract, worth close to £200,000 per week with bonuses, meaning Bayern are in no rush to sell. United view him as a low-cost, tactical fit under Amorim.</p>

TELL ME MORE...

<p>The Red Devils will likely wait on Bayern’s final stance before progressing with a formal offer. If green-lit, Palhinha could arrive in time for pre-season and be available for United’s Premier League opener against Arsenal on August 17.</p>
