Manchester United are atill hoping to sign a new midfielder before the transfer window closes and have three players firmly in their sights, a trusted journalist has revealed.

Indeed, as per Fabrizio Romano, United are very firmly planning to strengthen their midfield.
And he says that Ruben Neves, Saul Niguez and Eduardo Camavinga are all on their shortlist. On the latest episode of The Here We Go Podcast, Romano revealed United’s thinking.
“The three names they always had on the list were Camavinga, Saul and Ruben Neves,” he said. “These were the three names on the list of Manchester United, in this order: first Camavinga, second Saul, third Ruben Neves.”

Indeed, United’s prospects of signing Camavinga have been lifted this week. The 18-year-old is already a full-fledged France international and has been a regular at club level since the age of 16.
Romano says there are ‘chances’ for Camavinga to leave in the current window. He is in the final year of his contract and will ‘not sign a new long-term deal’. As such, Romano says there’s ‘a chance’ he could move on.
PSG are also firmly in the mix and at this stage, they do appear favourites to seal a £25.7m deal.
But with the Parisians undoubtedly distracted by the simmering situation around Kylian Mbappe, United could look to nip in.
They have also looked into the possibility of signing Saul, particularly with Atletico Madrid willing to sanction his loan. Reports on Tuesday claimed they were neck and neck with Chelsea over his signing.
Neves, meanwhile, has also been linked with United. His signing looks the trickiest given Wolves’ stance. But a sizeable offer from United could yet change their mind and give them something to ponder.
