Manchester United is setting its sights on Khephren Thuram, the 22-year-old OGC Nice midfielder, for a potential summer transfer. Thuram’s stellar performances in Ligue 1 have caught the attention of the Premier League giants, according to ESPN via Fichajes.

The club is on the lookout for midfield reinforcements to enhance their squad for the upcoming season. They are particularly interested in a central midfielder who can dictate the pace of play and provide defensive solidity. Thuram has shown he possesses the physicality and skill set to thrive in the Premier League, making him a valuable prospect for long-term success. His versatility allows him to play both in defensive and central midfield roles, showcasing potential to become a well-rounded midfielder under the right mentorship.

Erik ten Hag, known for his ability to develop young talents like Frenkie de Jong and Donny van de Beek during his tenure at Ajax, could be the perfect coach to elevate Thuram’s game to the next level.

The opportunity to join a club of Manchester United’s stature and compete at the highest level is likely to appeal to the young Frenchman. The team’s ambition to secure major titles necessitates strengthening their lineup, particularly in the midfield area, where Thuram could be an upgrade over current options.
