Manchester United target Maxi Araujo has broken his silence on his future. The Uruguayan left-back has been linked with a move to the Red Devils, who finished third in the Premier League with 71 points from 38 games.
What's the latest on Maxi Araujo?
Araujo has been in impressive form for Sporting this season, registering seven goals and six assists in 47 games. His blistering pace, attacking instincts, and work ethic make him a fine long-term replacement for Luke Shaw.
Why it matters for Manchester United
The Red Devils need a succession plan for Shaw, who will turn 31 next month and has a poor fitness record. Araujo is entering his prime and matches the age profile INEOS have targeted of late.
What comes next?
Araujo has provided an update on his future, saying: "I am very happy at Sporting, but you never know what will happen." This is a stark contrast to his previous comments, where he openly expressed a desire to stay at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
