The Red Devils are expected to strengthen their midfield department with the prospect of multiple exits this summer. Casemiro will depart when his contract expires at the end of June.

Manuel Ugarte has also been touted to head for the exit door amid his lack of playing time. It is now claimed that United have a strong interest in Tonali and could compete with Arsenal for his services.

It is claimed that the Gunners are prepared to pay 70 to 80 million euros for the versatile midfielder, but United could make a proposal of their own to prise away the former AC Milan man from the Magpies.

Tonali has his sights on playing Champions League football next season and a move to Arsenal or United would help fulfil his ambition.

The Magpies are currently mid-table in the Premier League and may not even qualify for the Champions League in the next campaign.
