Manchester United are lining up their targets for the summer transfer window in a bid to turn the club around and bounce back from this year’s disastrous season.
Sitting in 14th in the Premier League, a top half finish is still mathematically possible, whilst seemingly unlikely.
However, with The Red Devils still the only undefeated team in the Europa League, lifting the trophy could still be a real possibility.
This would not only bring another trophy to Old Trafford, but would also grant them qualification to the Champions League and give them an extra £100 million in income because of it.
With the club still hopeful of having the lure of European football, their recruitment team are shortlisting some key targets to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s squad ready for next season.
Now, L’Equipe has revealed that one man joining their shortlist is Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche.

Manchester United monitor Maghnes Akliouche
The 23-year-old as emerged as a target for United as well as Manchester City and PSG thanks to his impressive season for the Ligue 1 side.
With six goals and ten assists in 38 games, Akliouche has made his mark for Monaco across Ligue 1, holding second place in the league, and the Champions League, making it to the round of 16.
However, Akliouche’s contract runs until 2028, with no release clause, putting Monaco in a really strong position to negotiate for any deal.
Currently its understood that the club are wanting between £60 and £69 million (€70 and €80 million) for him, which could be out of United’s price range unless they win the Europa League.
With so much hinging on the tournament, Amorim’s men will no doubt be throwing their all to reach the final and beyond now.
