Manchester United are reported to be keeping tabs on seven midfielders ahead of next summer, when at least one “top level” option will ideally be signed.
Midfield has been an area requiring improvement for United this season, unable to control games as they would like. Ruben Amorim has favoured a two-man pairing of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes. The former is enjoying resurgent spell, but not a long-term solution. The latter is better suited to a more attacking role, while Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte haven’t done enough to impress the boss.
