Manchester United have been linked with the move for 25-year-old AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana this summer.
According to a report from Attacking Football, Manchester United are not working on a deal to sign 25-year-old AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana. Instead, the Frenchman is keen on a move to Serie A giants AC Milan.
It is no secret that Manchester United need to bring in midfield reinforcements, and the Frenchman would have been a quality acquisition for them. Fofana has proven his quality in Ligue 1, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well.
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. Casemiro and Sofyan Amrabat were quite underwhelming last season, and Scott McTominay has been linked with an exit this summer.
Manchester United need quality midfielders
Manchester United might need to sign multiple midfielders this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right additions. The Red Devils will be hoping to challenge for the league title next season, and they will want to do well in the domestic competitions as well. The midfield is an area that is in need of an overhaul.
Manchester United have a quality squad at their disposal. But they need to plug their main weaknesses to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City. Signing a quality central midfielder and a defensive midfielder should be their top priorities this summer.
They have been linked with a host of names in recent weeks, and it remains to be seen who they end up signing eventually. Meanwhile, the midfielder will look to compete at the highest level. Fofana has proven himself in Ligue 1 one and a move to Milan will be quite tempting for him.
They are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and they could provide him with the platform to compete for major trophies in the upcoming season. The 25-year-old is entering his peak years, and he will want to join a club where he will be able to win silverware and compete at the highest level regularly.
