The sports management of Manchester United is determined to improve the performance of the team and has compiled a list of potential additions, in which the names of as many as 13 candidates appear, reports "TEAMtalk". The priority for the "Red Devils" is to strengthen the midfield. At "Old Trafford" they want to strengthen the area that during the past campaign did not offer the desired level of performance.

Casemiro has already announced he is leaving and Manuel Ugarte is also very likely to be sold. So the plan includes bringing in a minimum of two midfielders and so the sports department has drawn up a long list of possible candidates. In it, the Englishman Elliott Anderson stands out as the main target. The young midfielder from Nottingham Forest is one of the most wanted players in the market for the upcoming summer and it would be no wonder that there will be a transfer battle for his signature. His price tag could reach an impressive €120 million, which could put off the Red Devils from targeting their next targets on the list. Behind the Whitley Bay player are three midfielders with extensive Premier League experience as the main alternatives: Cameroonian Carlos Baleba (Brighton, 22), England's Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace, 22) and Italian Sandro Tonali (Newcastle, 26). At the same time, the scouts are closely monitoring the Portuguese Mateusz Fernandes (West Ham, 21), the British Alex Scott (Bournemouth, 22), the American Tyler Adams (Bournemouth, 27) and the Brazilian Joao Gomez (Wolverhampton, 25). Carrick signed before Sunday's game, it is clear how long his contract will be The list of alternatives does not end there. The club from "Old Trafford" does not lose sight of the Brazilian Ederson (Atalanta, 26 years old), as well as two of the current players of Real Madrid: the Uruguayan Fede Valverde (27 years old) and the French Aurelien Chuameni (26 years old). If the Spanish club decide to consider selling any of them, United will take action. Finally, as more distant options, there are two players on the rise: the Frenchman Ayoub Bouadi (Lille, 18) and the Greek Christos Mouzakitis (Olympiakos, 19). Should the management give the green light to bring in a third midfielder, the chosen one could be one of the pair.
