Luton Town player Ross Barkley is reportedly being looked at by Manchester United. Responding to this issue, Barkley admitted that until now he was not interested in moving teams because his focus was on helping Luton Town stay in the Premier League.
Yes, Barkley’s name was suddenly linked with the Red Devils – Man United’s nickname. This cannot be separated from the former Chelsea midfielder’s excellent performance with Luton Town so far.
Moreover, Man United wants to strengthen their midfield post. Under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s era, the Red Devils reportedly wanted to bring in a midfielder as a replacement for Casemiro.
Barkley responded to the rumors in a relaxed manner. This 30 year old player really has a desire to be able to defend a club that plays in European competitions. However, this was not the main focus.
“I want to play in the Premier League. “I want to play in Europe again, but I’m not too focused on that right now,” said Barkley, reported by Metro, Monday (15/4/2024).
Barkley emphasized that his main focus at the moment is to fight with Luton Town to stay in the Premier League next season. The reason is, The Hatters are sitting in 18th position, which is the limit of the red zone.
“I want to help the club stay in the Premier League. I like this club. This helped me a lot and I owe them a lot. So I focused on that and didn’t think about anything other than helping them do that,” said Barkley.
It’s no surprise that Barkley is on Man United’s radar. Because his performance is really good and he can not only score assists but also goals. So far, he has scored five goals and six assists from 32 appearances with the Hatters in all competitions.
