Man Utd eyeing surprise move for Real Madrid star

Manchester United are weighing up a surprise move for Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni as they seek to strengthen their midfield department ahead of next season.

The Red Devils have already agreed to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, and they are now looking for another marquee addition in the midfield department.

Mateus Fernandes was a priority target for the Mancunian giants, but the Portuguese has now joined Tottenham Hotspur from West Ham United instead.

Sandro Tonali was mentioned as a target from Newcastle United, but the Italy international has likewise signed for Spurs. He will be formally announced soon.

Hence, United need to pursue an alternative and reports claim that they are waiting on Tchouameni, who could leave Los Blancos during the current transfer window.

New Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is eyeing a new midfielder and this could pave the way for the departure of Tchouameni.

The Frenchman has no desire to leave the Spanish giants at the moment, but could change his stance in the next few weeks.
