Manchester United are intent on making a marquee signing in midfield with hope remaining of striking a big-money deal for one of their leading targets, according to The Athletic.
After missing out on deals for Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes to Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, the Red Devils are taking stock of their options.
Real Madrid superstar Aurelien Tchouameni, 26, is a "dream signing" at Old Trafford, though there is internal acceptance a deal will be as difficult as it is costly.
The Athletic reveals United are "ready if Real Madrid decide to sell Tchouameni" as the Spanish giant "would prefer to make sales before funding further arrivals".
At Jose Mourinho's request, Los Blancos are exploring options to add more creativity and control to their engine room. Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez is one target, while Manchester City's Rodri is another, though deals for either look unlikely at this stage.
