Manchester United are desperate to strengthen their midfield over the coming weeks.
In the last month, United have been linked to a whole range of European talent, however some appear to be longstanding interests.
The Red Devils have been in advance talks with PSG regarding Manuel Ugarte. Now, with the French club’s keen interest in Jadon Sancho, the two teams are set to meet this week to try and finalise the arrangements for both players.
Equally, Sporting Lisbon’s Morten Hjulmand has been a keen favourite for a while. However, Lisbon have commented they will not be negotiating any transfer for the star so any signing of him would need to trigger his £67.3 million release clause.
Manchester United’s free agent target
Another long term target is free agent, Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder has recently departed from Juventus at the end of his contract.

Now, this is only heighted with United’s rivals, Liverpool offering the 29-year-old a contract.
According to TuttoJuve, the midfielder has rejected the contract offered by Liverpool, still holding out hope for a deal with United.
