Manchester United’s hunt for a new midfielder has taken another twist, with Jose Mourinho ready to pounce for a possible target.
The Red Devils are intent on reinvigorating their midfield as Casemiro is heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and there have been bids from Fulham for Scott McTomimay.
It has been a fraught search for their main targets, with talks over Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte breaking down over the price.
The Uruguayan, 23, is valued at around €50m, and that has proven too much for Man Utd as it now. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has opted to look at other targets, reportedly including Monaco’s Youssef Fofana.
PSG remain open to a sale of Ugarte after completing the signing of Joao Neves from Benfica, meaning the Red Devils could return to the table.
But they could also miss out on a player who played for them last season. Sofyan Amrabat spent the campaign on loan at Old Trafford from Fiorentina and remains a possibility on a permanent deal.
