Manchester United proposes to sign City midfielder Xavier Parker

Summary

Manchester United has submitted a proposal to sign Xavier Parker, an attacking midfielder from Manchester City's academy. The move comes as United seeks to bolster their midfield after missing out on other top targets. City is working intensively to retain Parker, who is seen as a rising star in English football, and has offered him a competitive professional contract. Despite this, Parker has not yet committed to City and is considering offers from several elite clubs, including Liverpool. United's proposal highlights their increasing focus on youth talent, alongside their need for established midfielders.
