MU wants to buy Moussa Diaby to replace Anthony Martial
Anthony Martial misses the FA Cup final this weekend, and is likely to leave MU this summer after experiencing many disappointments.
MU spent about 65 million euros for Monaco to get Martial, considered one of the greatest talents in world football, but did not get the expected results.
Coach Erik ten Hag decided to make personnel changes, with Moussa Diaby selected to replace Martial.
Manchester United scouts have been keeping a close eye on Moussa Diaby's performances this season.
The Dutch strategist appreciates Moussa Diaby's versatility, besides technical quality and speed, with intelligent ball handling.
Moussa Diaby scored 14 goals and was involved in another 11 with Leverkusen this season. This is a number that Martial cannot match.
The 23-year-old Frenchman plays well on both flanks, or needs to be a central attacking midfielder, offering a variety of tactical solutions.
Many clubs in Europe are pursuing Diaby, especially English football representatives.

Neymar determined to only join MU if he broke up with PSG?
According to the French press, Neymar is ready to leave Paris after learning that he was once again excluded by the big bosses of PSG from the club's plans.
Last year, PSG wanted to push Neymar away at Mbappe's request. However, because he played prominently, even returning early to train with the team before the season, the Paris team had no excuse to push the Brazilian striker away.
Neymar is motivated to do that, because of his love of playing football next to his close brother Messi.
However, the sheet L'Equipe Neymar is no longer interested in playing for PSG, because of his disappointment with the club's leadership, as well as the fans' treatment of him, and PSG will also be without Messi next season.
The fact that Neymar deliberately quit playing poker and watching racing, ignoring the team competing and celebrating the 1th Ligue 11 championship partly points to that.
Chelsea have been interested in Neymar since last season, and Newcastle have also been named with a shocking plan in this summer's transfer, bringing the PSG star to the Premier League. Even so, according to The SunNeymar determined that he would only join MU, not minding any other team, if he left Paris.
This is good news for MU, but making the deal possible is not easy, especially when Neymar still has 4 years left on his contract with PSG with a towering salary, about one million pounds a week.
That means, Neymar must definitely reduce his salary, if he really chooses the Red Devils as the next destination.
Neymar is still a world record signing after PSG broke his release clause, spending 222 million euros to sign him from Barca in 2017.
In the latest statement regarding the MU force, coach Erik ten Hag admitted that he needed a top striker to share the task of scoring with Marcus Rashford.
Neymar's class is not in dispute, but it is also impossible to ignore the personal life of this star's party.
