Manchester United target Saul Niguez has announced that he will reveal his future destination in 3 days, the Evening Standard reports. The Atletico Madrid midfielder has been a target of the Red Devils in recent times and has long been touted as the future replacement of Paul Pogba. While the coronavirus pandemic has thrown Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer plans out of the window, it is unclear how the summer would pan out. There is no clarity either about the future of Manchester United’s controversial French midfielder.

In such circumstances, a cryptic tweet from Niguez has sent the rumor mill rolling and filled the hearts of every Manchester United fan with hope. On Sunday, the Spaniard shared a mysterious message in his official twitter handle that caught the imagination of fans instantly. The Spaniard announced that he had information to share, revealing that he had something to communicate with his followers, many of whom are Manchester United faithful.

Communication. I wanted to communicate something important to you.

His message also contained an image with the announcement written in both English and Spanish – NEW CLUB. I’ll announce it 3 days…

Manchester United's interest in Niguez might depend on Pogba's future

The Spaniard is one of Diego Simeone’s most important players and was long considered indispensable at the Wanda Metropolitano. However, he has attracted interest from the Premier League, with Arsenal also rumored to be among his suitors and ready to compete with Manchester United for his signature. He has a £135m release clause, but it is believed that he could be available for a price of around £70m. The Atletico manager would loath to lose one the pillars of his team, but it seems like Niguez is destined to leave the club this summer.

Manchester United continue to be the frontrunners for his signature though, however, a lot of that will depend on how the transfer window works out amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Paul Pogba’s next move will also determine the plausibility of the transfer. The arrival of Bruno Fernandes and the temptation of playing alongside the brilliant Portuguese might tempt the former Juventus midfielder to reconsider his stance and stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer. If he decides to stay, Manchester United might no longer have space to fit Niguez into the team.

All of that will be clear in 3 days when the Spaniard makes the big reveal. Until then, fans worldwide will be waiting in anticipation.
