Man Utd looking to sign new midfielder
Romano said:
“Also the midfield. What I have heard in the last 24-48 hours is that Manchester United have made some calls around four midfielders. That is why they are also thinking about doing something in the summer transfer market for some midfielders, especially in case Casemiro leaves the club.
“It is a concrete possibility that Casemiro leaves. In that case, Manchester United could also enter the midfielder market and look for a solution there. So keep an eye on United and the midfielders, because it is also a concrete possibility for United to fill that position in the summer transfer window.”
After a terrible campaign last season, Man Utd are apparently looking to strengthen their squad this summer to turn their fortunes around next season. They have already started working to strengthen their defensive line with Jarrad Branthwaite and Leny Yoro on their radar.
However, they are also exploring the possibility of signing a new striker to support Rasmus Hojlund with Joshua Zirkzee emerging as the priority target of late.
