Manchester United has focused most of its efforts in this year’s transfer market on signing two midfielders who will change the course of the team.

By all accounts, the first is expected to be Atalanta’s Ederson, while the club is also targeting another signing.

According to reports from the UK, the “Red Devils” are seriously considering Aurélien Tchouaméni, though the situation is not entirely in their hands.

United is waiting to see if Real Madrid decides to sell the French midfielder so that it can make a move and bring Tchouaméni to Man.

The 26-year-old made a total of 49 appearances across all competitions last season for the “Queen’s” white-clad squad, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

If Real Madrid decide to sell Tchouameni, United are ready. #mufc have held talks to establish their stance on the midfielder.
