"Man Utd will revamp their midfield this summer with at least two new signings in the position. Casemiro will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, while United could also sell the underwhelming Manuel Ugarte. Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes are both expected to stay as they are loving life under interim boss Michael Carrick."
"Nottingham Forest's Anderson remains United's No 1 target. Indeed, sources have confirmed to us that INEOS are ready to break the £100million (€114m/ $135m) barrier to beat Manchester City in the race for the Englishman."
"But with Premier League midfielders so expensive, Agoume could emerge as a sensible second addition. United made an approach for the LaLiga ace last summer, and Theatre of Red report that he 'retains many admirers' at Old Trafford."
"Agoume's stats are superior to Baleba's when it comes to interceptions, tackles, aerials won, passes into the final third and touches, all per 90 minutes this season."
Manchester United plans significant midfield restructuring this summer with at least two new signings. Casemiro will depart when his contract expires, and Manuel Ugarte may be sold. Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes will remain under interim manager Michael Carrick. Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is United's primary target, with INEOS prepared to exceed £100 million to compete with Manchester City. Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton and Brighton's Carlos Baleba are also considered. However, due to Premier League midfield costs, Sevilla's Lucien Agoume emerges as a sensible secondary option. Director of recruitment Christopher Vivell leads this pursuit. Agoume outperforms Baleba in interceptions, tackles, aerial wins, passes into the final third, and touches per 90 minutes.
