"Manchester United are reportedly looking at a long list of players at the moment, with Lille midfield wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi one of the names on their radar. The talented 18-year-old has already made 73 appearances in Lille's first-team, and has been described as not normal for the ability he's shown at such a young age by his former manager, as per BBC Sport. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it seems it hasn't taken long for top clubs to show an interest in Bouaddi, with Arsenal among his suitors, as we reported recently."
"According to Sky Sports, Man Utd will be another name to watch in the race for the French starlet, with the Red Devils casting a wide net as they look for signings to help them in both the present and future. There are more established names on their list, with players such as Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton, who have Premier League experience. Bouaddi might be more of a gamble in that respect, but he also looks like a wonderkid with a very high ceiling."
"Sky's report also mentions interest in a striker like Jean-Philippe Mateta, and in Rennes' talented young defender Jeremy Jacquet. It remains to be seen if United can realistically get so many names in in January, with some of these targets likely to have to wait until the summer. Still, it's clear that Ruben Amorim would benefit from more work being done on this squad, so a good winter window could set the team up well for the second half of the season."
Manchester United are pursuing multiple transfer targets to strengthen midfield and future prospects, including Lille's 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi, who has 73 first-team appearances and exceptional ability for his age. Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in Bouaddi, increasing competition. United's shortlist includes more established young players such as Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton, while Bouaddi offers higher upside but more risk. The club is also linked with striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and defender Jeremy Jacquet. Completing many deals in January looks unlikely, so some moves may wait until summer, while winter reinforcements could aid Ruben Amorim.
