Despite Manchester United’s interest, Edson Alvarez, a standout for West Ham United, insists his only concern is Mexico’s Copa America campaign.
During their time together at Ajax, Alvarez excelled under Erik ten Hag, earning two Dutch crowns under the Dutchman’s tutelage before heading to the Premier League.
The midfielder replaced Declan Rice at West Ham United last summer after Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal fell through after a move to Chelsea collapsed in 2022.
Alvarez performed admirably in his debut season in England, and United is now considering bringing him to Old Trafford to take Casemiro’s spot.
For the time being, though, Alvarez isn’t thinking about his club future—just the upcoming Mexico campaign.
“All I can say is that I’m concentrating on what
This summer, United is keen to sign a new holding midfielder to take Casemiro’s role on a permanent basis.
After a challenging second season at United, clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in signing the Brazilian, raising doubts about his future in Manchester.
Joao Neves, a youngster at Benfica, is also being considered by United, but the Portuguese powerhouses insist that any interested parties pay his £104 million release clause, which will undoubtedly be beyond United’s means this summer.
Ten Hag is still a big fan of Alvarez, who is 26 years old, and United have talked about signing him this summer. However, the Hammers are unlikely to let him go after just a year of his £35 million move to East London, seeing him as a vital member of the team.
Alvarez would reunite with old Ajax colleagues Lisandro Martinez and Antony if he moved to Old Trafford.
Alvarez played a major role in West Ham’s journey in the Europa League, starting 28 of the team’s 38 league games and scoring two goals.
