Fichajes website reported that Manchester United club plans to make an offer worth 100 million euros to sign the young Spanish midfielder Pablo Barrios from Atletico Madrid, to strengthen the team's midfield in preparation for the 2026/2027 season.

The English club sees Barrios as the ideal organizer for the new team project, especially during the transitional phase following the appointment of Michael Carrick as interim coach, as the player is distinguished by his ability to manage the pace of matches and effectively link defense with attack.

This step comes as part of the team's rebuilding plan, after the inconsistent performance of some new players, with the management also searching for a permanent coach to support the team's project.

Barrios is 22 years old and has proven himself in La Liga thanks to his game vision, passing accuracy, and quick movement in counterattacks; he has scored one goal and assisted one goal in 26 matches this season, despite having a contract extended until June 2030.

The report confirmed that finalizing the deal depends on the identity of the new coach, with expectations that Pablo Barrios will become a cornerstone in rebuilding Manchester United and leading it towards European and global competition.
