PL Club ‘Favourites’ To Sign World Cup Star

However, United aren’t the only club who have been linked with a move for the player, despite clearly leading the pack as things stand. TalkSPORT recently examined betting odds for his next destination, with Arsenal rated at 5/1 and Tottenham at 6/1.

Meanwhile, the likes of Everton and Liverpool have odds of 6/1, while Newcastle United are rated at 8/1. Do the bookies know something that we don’t?

Sarr is a key player at Selhurst Park and is under contract until the summer of 2029, so Palace are under no pressure to sell him – nor do they want to. Nonetheless, their hand could be forced if a large offer comes in.

What would Ismaila Sarr bring to Manchester United?

A dynamic, adaptable attacking player who loves to drive at backlines and make positive runs down the flanks, Sarr is a nightmare for any full-back to come up against.

Capable of bursting through the lines and finding space in the box on a whim, he combines his excellent movement with composed finishing. Michael Carrick likes to hit teams on the break – Sarr, with his pace, is perfect for this style of play.

As we mentioned, he is very adaptable and can field multiple positions. While he is most comfortable playing as a right winger, bursting down the flank, he can also function as a left winger or as an attacking midfielder if he is required to do so. Given his height and underrated strength, he could also theoretically play as an auxillary striker.

Not only was he a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League and the World Cup last season, he was also very effective in the Europa Conference League, scoring nine goals in 13 games for the Eagles amidst their first-ever European trophy-winning campaign.

If United want to sign him, now is the time to do so. At 28 years of age, he is in his prime – if they wait any longer, they risk signing him after his best years have passed.
