Kalvin Phillips is set to leave Manchester City in the upcoming January transfer window, with the English international aiming to join a team where he can secure substantial playing time as he eyes a spot in the Three Lions squad for Euro 2024.
Just days before the January transfer window opens, an unexpected contender for Phillips’ signature has emerged and it is Manchester United.
Manchester United is reportedly preparing a £20 million offer for the right of Kalvin Phillips, contingent on Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking over the management of the Red Devils. The English billionaire is a big admirer of Phillips and would make him one of the transfer targets if the deal to acquire a minority stake in the club goes through.
The 28-year-old Kalvin Phillips has yet to start a match for Manchester City in the current season, having played only 89 minutes in the Premier League since the beginning of the campaign.
