Manchester United is actively looking for midfield options ahead of the summer transfer window, as they need reinforcements in the squad.
Casemiro is nearing the end of his contract and has agreed to join Sir David Beckham’s Inter Miami.
Additionally, Manuel Ugarte may also be leaving, as United aims to offload the midfielder who hasn’t met expectations.
The Red Devils have been scouting potential new signings since last summer.
According to The Telegraph, United is keeping an eye on Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, who is under contract with the Spanish club until 2028.
Manchester United’s Interest in Aurelien Tchouameni
Tchouameni has been a crucial player for Real Madrid since joining from AS Monaco in 2022, making 190 appearances in midfield.
His defensive skills have contributed to the team’s success in various competitions, including the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, and La Liga.
Looking ahead, Tchouameni is also expected to play a significant role for the France national team at the 2026 World Cup.
Reports suggest Madrid might consider selling Tchouameni if they successfully pursue Manchester City’s Rodri.
This talented midfielder is seen as a potential replacement for Casemiro, who has had a standout season.
Casemiro has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 32 Premier League matches and has been instrumental in United’s push for Champions League football.
However, Tchouameni is not the only option, as United needs two or three new signings this summer.
Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson are still on United’s radar as established Premier League midfielders, but the chances of signing either player seem to be diminishing.
Manchester City appears to be the leading candidate to sign Anderson, while United’s interest in Tonali is waning as they explore other alternatives.
