"Central midfield was an area the club was looking to strengthen last summer, showing interest in Brighton's Carlos Baleba, but nothing came of it. Their need to add a midfielder to the squad will be even more pressing in the next transfer window as Casemiro is set to leave the club on a free transfer."
"Baleba remains a target for the Red Devils, while the likes of Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton have been touted as possible signings. All three have been given price tags of £80m-£100m, although Nottingham Forest's Premier League future will surely impact the fee they can demand for Anderson."
"The Daily Mail report that Manchester United have a cheaper option on their radar, with Bournemouth's Tyler Adams being admired at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old has been with the Cherries since signing from Leeds United in 2023, although he has been hampered by injuries since then, making just 52 appearances for Bournemouth so far."
"The midfielder is under contract with Bournemouth until 2028 and the Mail's report suggests he would be available for around £40m this summer. He would not get Manchester United fans as excited as the likes of Anderson or Wharton, but would cost around half as much as the England internationals."
Manchester United plans to strengthen central midfield this summer following Casemiro's departure on a free transfer. The club previously pursued Brighton's Carlos Baleba without success and remains interested in him alongside Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, all valued at £80m-£100m. However, Manchester United has identified a more economical target in Bournemouth's Tyler Adams, available for approximately £40m. The 27-year-old American midfielder joined Bournemouth from Leeds United in 2023 and possesses Champions League experience from his time at RB Leipzig, along with 52 international caps. Any transfer would likely occur after the USA's summer World Cup campaign. Liverpool and Chelsea also monitor Adams' situation.
