United's Midfield Search
Manchester United are exploring options to replace veteran midfielder Casemiro, who left Old Trafford after his contract expired.
According to reports from Soccernet.
ng and Footy-Africa, United revived their interest in the 29-year-old Ndidi after missing out on other midfield targets earlier in the transfer window.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano discussed United's transfer dilemma on his YouTube channel, noting how quickly prior targets moved to rival clubs.
"Talking about midfielders, guys, I always wanted to mention what's going to happen next now at Manchester United because in 24 hours, we saw Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes – three players who were of interest of Manchester United, but then the race was already left – going elsewhere," Romano said.
United have turned internal attention toward other top-tier options, though financial and contractual obstacles remain.
"The two names that Man Utd internally consider as fantastic options are Aurelien Tchouameni, but I told you the problem is the salary, and at the moment no green light from Real Madrid, and also Alex Scott is also highly rated by Arsenal and by Manchester United," Romano added.
