Which midfielders Manchester United will sign to give Michael Carrick a strong engine room he can rely on next season remains a mystery.
With Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte‘s long-term injury, the Red Devils need at least two, if not three, quality midfield signings.
Ederson has already signed, with all eyes now on who will join the Brazilian international through the door.
In an ideal scenario, it should have been Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes. However, both players have sealed moves to rival clubs. United must now pivot and identify fresh targets.
One name gaining serious traction is AS Roma box-to-box midfielder Neil El Aynaoui. Teamtalk reports that it would come as little surprise to the Old Trafford faithful if the club pursued the Moroccan “workhorse”.
