With the depth of the summer transfer window, Manchester United's reinforcement strategy in the midfield position gradually surfaced, showing a complex and multi-faceted layout. According to the latest report of Manchester Evening News, Manchester United is actively seeking to strengthen the midfield lineup to cope with the challenges of the new season's multi-front war.
In terms of defensive midfield options, Manchester United have opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain's Ugarte and have shown strong interest. Ugarte himself is inclined to move to Old Trafford to add rigidity to United's midfield. However, United have not put all their eggs in one basket as they are also keeping an eye on Real Sociedad's Martin Subbimendi. The 25-year-old Spanish international's appearance in the Europa League final has certainly earned him more attention, and United are hoping that he will be a great addition to the team's midfield.
In addition to Ugarte and Subbimendi, United are also considering other options. Amrabat, who played for United on loan last season, is nearing the expiration of his buyout clause, and United is evaluating whether to bring him officially into the fold. In addition, Juventus midfielder Rabio, who has become a free agent, is also one of the targets of United's consideration, and his arrival would further enrich United's midfield options.
In terms of existing players, Manchester United is facing problems with the future of Casemiro and McTominay. Casemiro, one of the team's highest paid players, is a player United is willing to sell when they receive the right offer. McTominay, on the other hand, has attracted attention due to the imminent expiration of his contract, and even though United has rejected an offer for him, there are still teams that have shown interest in him. United will decide the future of both players based on market conditions and team needs.
Manchester United has made a good start in the transfer market operation. They have successfully signed two new recruits, Zylkiser and Jolo, further enhancing the competitiveness of the team. It is worth noting that the agents of both Yoro and Ugarte are the famous Mendes, which may bring some convenience to United in the process of attracting new recruits.
