Two PL midfielders who ‘settled brilliantly’ into top-flight are now ‘hugely’ appreciated by United chiefs

Manchester United chiefs are frantically scouring the market in hopes of acquiring a marquee midfield signing at a reasonable price.

After cooling their interest in Manuel Ugarte due to Paris Saint-Germain’s £51 million valuation, the Reds have been linked with a host of different names for INEOS to consider.

The likes of Youssouf Fofana, Ederson and Sander Berge are all thought to be on the shortlist, while a fresh report from HITC today claims that two Premier League aces have caught the attention of the United board.

Scouts believe that Danilo of Nottingham Forest and Joao Gomes of Wolverhampton Wanderers, both 23 years of age, ‘settled brilliantly’ into the English top flight and, as a result, are now ‘hugely’ appreciated.

United could struggle in pursuit of either midfielder

It’s unlikely that either player’s club would be open to sanctioning their exits given the integral roles they both operate in the Midlands. However, that won’t stop United from trying their luck.

If all else fails, Sofyan Amrabat could return to Old Trafford on a permanent deal following his loan expiration in June.
