      **From the article:**

      **Manchester United are considering a summer move for Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni as the club assess their midfield options, the Press Association understands.**

      Champions League qualification is within touching distance for the third-placed Red Devils, who boast an eight-point cushion and game in hand on sixth-placed Brighton.

      United are facing a big summer as they look to kick on next term, including deciding whether to keep on Michael Carrick as head coach and how best to bolster their midfield.

      It was announced in January that popular Casemiro will leave when his contract expires four years on from leaving Real, whose France international Tchouameni features on United’s list of targets.

      The 26-year-old was linked to United, Liverpool and Paris St Germain before making a big-money move from Monaco to Madrid just two months before Brazil international Casemiro left for Old Trafford.

      **United admire Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson but reports suggest the England international favours a move to Manchester City. Brighton’s Carlos Baleba was a target last summer.**

      **United would seemingly like to acquire two midfielders during a summer that Kobbie Mainoo looks set to head into having agreed a new and improved contract following positive negotiations.**

      **[.]**

      **Also:**

      Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia’s deals are set to expire at the end of this season as well as Casemiro. Tom Heaton’s contract is also up but an extension could be agreed for the veteran goalkeeper.

      **There is doubt in Spain as to whether Barcelona will make Marcus Rashford’s move permanent,** while goalkeeper Andre Onana has spent the campaign on loan with Trabzonspor.

      Rasmus Hojlund has impressed at Napoli, where his move will become permanent should they qualify for the Champions League.

      Tchouameni is the April version of January’s Anderson, February’s Tonali and March’s Wharton

      Are we doing a spirit bomb, collecting all the News stories together to hopefully buy Tchouameni?

      Tchouameni, Tonali and a low budget Holding or DM (from Wolves or one of the other clubs about to be relegated or from else where). That would not be a bad CM window. Anderson we can already rule our i feel.

      I really don’t want to be lured in, scared of the incoming contract extension. Praying I’m wrong

    9. cigamodnalro on

      Tchou much smoke for this not to be serious. Tchoumany posts about it on this sub.

    10. JustTaxLandbro on

      Realistically it’d cost us 70-90m plus an additional 250-300k weekly in wages

      Maybe it’s worth it. But I’m not the biggest fan given the price

    11. CFD330 on

      While we’re at it, we might as well consider summer moves for Vitinha and Lamine Yamal

    13. JishnuJayaram on

      Now this makes things clear. That’s how you word an article. United considers Tchouameni. Got it.

    14. tavernstyle312 on

      Even if this in unlikely I am glad we aren’t putting all of our efforts into just Anderson like the De Jong disaster summer

    21. Prize_Beginning_4601 on

      Andy Mitten on TOTD has mentioned a few times that we have been looking at some players in Spain ‘who may not be happy at their clubs’ for our midfield. I assumed he was talking about Camavinga but maybe this is what he meant

    22. RedHabibi on

      Seems like we’re serious about addressing the midfield this summer. But I truly think we should spend nearly all of our budget on the midfield this summer like we did last year on the front line. Something like this:

      Tchouameni – 100M

      Wharton – 80M

      Mateus Fernandes/Joao Gomes – 40-50M

      Then I’d target Malick Diouf at LB or someone at RB for about 35M.

      Anything else (e.g., CB, RB/LB, or forward) is icing on the cake.

      But bringing in those three mids would change the trajectory of this club for the next 5 years.

    23. CyberLPnerd on

      No way he moves here (hopefully I get wrong). Feels like tactics from his side to get a juicy renewal

    25. sirhowy on

      would love this! only way it makes any sense is if Madrid have someone big lined up like Rodri or Enzo though, which is plausible I guess

    27. Sleeplessendeavours on

      Mental gymnastics at play here for me but surely we wouldn’t be having all our top journalists bring him up, without a solid idea that he could be possible as a signing.

      Though, I say that, this club does do fucking mental things even if the leadership and everyone involved is different, going as far as agreeing a deal with Barcelona for De Jong only to not manage to convince the player, for example.

    28. zlataniche on

      I think this could be a smokescreen. A high profile Real Madrid player will keep the press busy while United go after more realistic targets.

    29. GRlSAIA on

      If we need 3 midfielders then an expensive option like Tchouameni/Anderson level, a £50-60 mil option (maybe a good deal on Baleba) + a cheaper depth option like Hayden Hackney and we’re set.

    36. garynevilleisared on

      Mods took the Stone report down, then Simon Peach from the top rope! Both are up now, entirely believable either as a way to tell Newcastle and Forest to get fucking real about their prices for Tonali/Anderson, or because Tchouameni already wants to join.

      One thing is clear, we look poised to add some serious talent in midfield this summer and im excited.

    37. WaalidSaab7777 on

      This guy is absolute cheeks. Should focus on actual footballers like Wharton.

    38. LioKiuye on

      Good to have lot of noise about several options lined up so that the clubs don’t try to cuck us on the price.
