Man Utd targeting January move for Roma star

Roma midfielder Manu Kone has emerged as a potential target for Manchester United ahead of the winter transfer window.

The Red Devils are yearning for a top-class defensive midfielder and they have already been linked with several names this year.

United in Focus today claim that Kone is the latest player on their radar. The Frenchman reportedly suits the playing style at United.

Kone has operated in a 3-4-2-1 system at the Giallorossi and he could seamlessly adapt to a similar formation at the Red Devils.

There is no asking price mentioned, but reports have previously claimed that Roma could seek at least €40 million for his services.

It remains to be seen whether United make an approach in January. 

Casemiro has been in good form in recent weeks, but the Brazilian is no longer in his prime and can't sustain his fitness levels.

Manuel Ugarte has been a shadow of himself at United. The Red Devils desperately need a midfield upgrade in the New Year.
