News24 - Coutinho's broken promise that gives Man Utd a huge transfer advantage
======================================
Philippe Coutinho's future is very much up in the air at the moment. The Barcelona midfielder was meant to become a legend in Catalonia when he completed a £142million move to Spain from Liverpool back in January 2018. But the transfer just hasn't worked out for the talented Brazilian, who has struggled to impress at the Nou Camp, has fallen down the pecking order, and is now being linked with a move away. Manchester United have been most strongly linked with a transfer for the Brazilian, who previously set the Premier League alight at Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are not believed to be interested in re-signing the player, which gives United an advantage should they decide to go all out to land Coutinho. But Manchester United have another advantage in the race for Coutinho. Back in 2018 Barcelona promised the Brazilian midfielder that he would be their long-term replacement for club legend Andres Iniesta. At the time Coutinho was being deployed in a deep-lying central role for Liverpool and, despite having previously played as a winger, looked at home in the middle of the park. Barcelona then made him the club's most expensive transfer, with Coutinho set to continue playing in a central role at the Nou Camp. But the Brazilian was quickly shifted out wide to compete with the much faster Ousmane Dembele for a place on the wing, and has struggled to shine. Manchester United could lose Paul Pogba in the summer after the Frenchman recently revealed it is his dream to play for Real Madrid. Ander Herrera could also be on his way out the door, meaning the Red Devils will have money to spend and a need to add class to their central midfield. Coutinho, it seems, is becoming an ever-attractive proposition for Manchester United.
