In a bid to add a combination of both technique and power to their side, Man Utd are being linked with the likes of West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes and Aston Villa’s Amadou Onana, as per Sacha Tavolieri.
The Red Devils will also be letting Casemiro leave as his contract comes to an end, while the report adds that Manuel Ugarte could be likely to leave as Juventus show an interest.
Elliot Anderson also continues to be mentioned as one of United’s dream targets for that area of their squad, though the Daily Mirror‘s latest info suggests Manchester City are in pole position to land the Nottingham Forest and England midfielder.
Competition to sign Mateus Fernandes
Fernandes is certainly likely to be one to watch this summer, and it’s easy to imagine him being a success in United’s midfield.
Our understanding, however, is that Liverpool have held talks over Fernandes, so they may be moving ahead in the race for the Hammers star.
Still, United are currently looking the more likely to qualify for the Champions League, so that could give them an edge in the race against Liverpool, whose poor form could still see them miss out, even if there are now five spots available for English clubs.
All in all, it seems like it’s going to be an interesting summer for midfielders moving clubs, with a lot of quality players looking to be available on the market, with big clubs all likely to make changes in that department.
