It is common knowledge at this stage that Manchester United will focus on improving their midfield options once the summer transfer window opens.
Casemiro is set to leave, while Manuel Ugarte’s stay at Old Trafford is also likely to be cut short.
Given Mason Mount’s injury record, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Englishman moved on as well. Moreover, Bruno Fernandes’ future remains up in the air.
There’s quite a big overhaul in store, with Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson the top priority to come in and strengthen the center of the park.
Ibrahim Sangare rumors put to bed
One player won’t be enough, and INEOS will likely sign two midfielders. Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton remain real targets, but another Forest ace has recently been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Ibrahim Sangare would cost a lot less than both the Crystal Palace player and the Brighton and Hove Albion star, while he has impressed despite Forest’s current situation.
However, Fabrizio Romano has refuted the rumors and claims there is no concrete interest in the Ivorian.
“Manchester United have a crucial plan for their midfield in the summer of 2026.
“They love Elliot Anderson at Nottingham Forest and there is nothing concrete about the links with Ibrahim Sangare.”
Mainoo contract update
The Italian journalist also added that INEOS is in talks with Kobbie Mainoo’s camp about a new contract.
That’s great news indeed after former head coach Ruben Amorim came dangerously close to selling the Carrington graduate in two consecutive spells.
On the pitch, the Red Devils extended their unbeaten run under Michael Carrick to six games with a narrow 1-0 win over Everton on Monday evening.
It was far from an old-fashioned display, but a breathtaking counter-attack, finished by Benjamin Sesko, proved to be the difference between the two teams.
They are back in action on Sunday when Crystal Palace visit Theater of Dreams.
