Manchester United identifies their midfield targets for the summer transfer window, labeling them as ‘Plan A, B, and C’. The overhaul of the midfield is a top priority after addressing the attack and goalkeeper positions last year. Casemiro’s impending departure and the exit of Manuel Ugarte among others necessitate at least two new signings.
Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest tops the wishlist as 'Plan A', with Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali as 'Plan B' and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton as 'Plan C'. Anderson has been a focus for several months, but Manchester City is currently leading the chase. Meanwhile, Tonali remains a strong option for United, valued at £100m by Newcastle.
United aims for a high-caliber midfielder, and while some discussions have cooled regarding Tonali, his status on the board remains significant. Newcastle's chief executive, David Hopkinson, emphasizes a strategic approach to buying and selling players, aiming for value over mere transfer fees. Expect United to be in the mix for Tonali when the opportunity arises.
