We’re just a day away from the new English Premier League season starting at Manchester United host Fulham tomorrow night at Old Trafford.
New signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are likely to be involved having completed their moves to United.
With over two weeks left in the transfer window, MUFC fans are wondering if any more new faces will come in the door.
Midfield is the next area likely to be reinforced.
If Scott McTominay leaves, who wanted by Napoli, then the need to bring someone in will only intensify.
Even before that, United were said to be looking at a range of midfielders.
Sky Sports reported that there were four players identified for Erik ten Hag’s side.

One of those names was Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana.
The 25-year-old French midfielder only has a year left on his contract and is seemingly involved in a transfer battle between United and Serie A side AC Milan.
Paulo Fonseca, Milan’s manager, commented on their interest in signing Fofana as he seems to be a primary target for the club this summer.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that AC Milan had a bid turned down by Monaco for the player yesterday. The Ligue 1 side were looking for an offer of €25m + €5m in add-ons.
It seems that the Serie A giants have taken little time in bridging that gap.
Sky Sports News are reporting this morning that AC Milan have made that exact bid this morning.
According to the broadcaster, the bid is being considered by Monaco at this present moment in time.
However, seen as that’s the asking price of the club for the player, it seems that the bid is likely to be approved.

This now means that it’s likely United will need to look elsewhere if they want to bring in midfield reinforcements.
Sander Berge, Manuel Ugarte and Sofyan Amrabat are just three of the other names mentioned as potential options.
Whoever that may be, it seems unlikely that it’d be Youssouf Fofana unless Man Utd hijack the move at the last minute.
