Manchester United is evaluating a potential transfer bid for Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams as the Premier League club seeks to further reinforce its central midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.
The Red Devils have already spent £85 million this summer to secure Andrey Santos from Chelsea for £50 million and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa for £35 million.

Co-owners INEOS and manager Michael Carrick remain intent on adding a third central midfielder to the squad.
Adams as a Cost-Effective Option
Adams, a 27-year-old United States international who featured at the 2026 World Cup, represents a cost-effective target compared to other names on United's shortlist.
Reports indicate Bournemouth values the former Leeds United player between £35 million and £50 million, though senior Bournemouth sources have dismissed suggestions that they would accept as low as £35 million.
The American midfielder has under two years remaining on his contract at the Vitality Stadium.
Internal analysts at Old Trafford reportedly view his defensive work rate and ball-winning capabilities as ideal complements to Kobbie Mainoo and Youri Tielemans.
United's primary targets also include Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, though that potential deal is considered too expensive.
Alternative options under consideration by United's recruitment team include Eduardo Camavinga, Manu Kone, and Fulham's Sander Berge.
Separately, Adams participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 22 in his hometown of Wappinger, New York.
