Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing another world-class midfielder next summer.
According to Jacque Talbot, Erik ten Hag will receive £100m to strengthen this key area of the team.
“Casemiro, according to the club, is a short-term solution and ultimately they want to bring in a player who is under 25 and has room to develop to become the heartbeat of the team. ”
United have shortlisted four options: Jude Bellingham, Bruno Guimaraes, Declan Rice and Frenkie de Jong.
The club has been linked with the other three, but Guimaraes remains a left-field target.
The report goes on to say:
“Some at the club feel a £70m offer may tempt Newcastle’s Guimaraes, who are determined not to sell.”
“The player’s determination may be tested if Newcastle fail to break into the top four this season, although the expectation is that he will stay.”
“It is clear that the star’s agent has been making noise through the media to generate interest and achieve a new contract renewal.”
“In any case, Man Utd are interested in the former Lyon master.”
Liverpool and Real Madrid reportedly want Bellingham, so United should be willing to engage in a transfer battle with the two European giants.
Rice and De Jong are names much admired by United. They both have unique skill sets that would elevate Ten Hag’s side.
The United boss will have to make a crucial decision according to the chosen tactical approach.
