Manchester United risks missing cut-price deal for Danilo from Botafogo

Summary

Manchester United may be poised to miss out on signing Danilo, the 25-year-old midfielder from Botafogo. Following a subdued performance at the World Cup, where he played only 44 minutes, the Brazilian club's asking price of £34 million is reportedly negotiable. Danilo's recent form in club football, highlighted by seven goals and two assists in his last twelve games, suggests he can be a valuable asset. Newcastle has now expressed interest in acquiring Danilo, potentially complicating United's pursuit. The urgency for both clubs is heightened due to Newcastle's potential sale of Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal, which could create a competitive environment for Danilo's signature.
