Manchester United have added Amadou Onana to their midfield targets, with a summer move being pondered for the Aston Villa star.
According to Football Insider, Amadou Onana is a target for Manchester United ahead of the summer, with the club planning on a big window. A key midfielder was always on the agenda, with the Red Devils now adding the Aston Villa star to their list of targets that includes other prominent Premier League stars.
Manchester United are set to prioritise signing a top-drawer midfielder in the summer, with a host of changes being planned at the club. The Red Devils anticipate a return to European football, which would require them to build a squad capable of competing across all fronts, with central midfield an area where they look a bit short.
Casemiro is set to leave in the summer, while Manule Ugarte’s long-term future remains a doubt. The arrival of Michael Carrick has brought Kobbie Mainoo back to the fold, with the midfielder now looking like a long-term mainstay in that midfield. However, there could be multiple midfielders arriving in the summer, with at least one high-profile signing expected.
Manchester United are now interested in a potential move for Amadou Onana, a player they were keen on before he made his £50 million move to Aston Villa from Everton. The Belgian has gone on to establish himself as a mainstay under Unai Emery, but recent comments stated he would be open to switching to a top club.
Manchester United are already pondering a summer approach, with Aston Villa likely to make demands that coiuld see them make a healthy profit on the former Everton midfielder. They must be aware that players like the 24-year-old will seek a big switch at one stage, as Manchester United may stand a good chance through sound negotiations to sign the Belgian.
Who are Manchester United’s midfield targets?
Apart from the long-standing interest in Onana, the Belgian might not be the only one they are seeking, as a host of other established names are being considered. Manchester United are serious about Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, while Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is a big target too.
The club are also intensifying efforts on Adam Wharton in the background, as the fans expect the Red Devils to chase one of those names with seriousness. There is a big arrival expected in their midfield, but it remains to be seen who the club ultimately chooses to pursue.
