The Manchester United transfer saga continues to unfold as the club looks to strengthen their midfield department. The Andrey Santos deal appears to be nearing completion, with Santos set to join the Red Devils from Chelsea.
However, the Éderson deal with Atalanta has been ruled out, leaving Manchester United to pursue other midfield targets. According to reports, the club is considering three potential signings: Ayyoub Bouaddi, Manu Kone, and Alex Scott.
Ayyoub Bouaddi and Manu Kone are being viewed as direct replacements for Casemiro, who has left the club. Bouaddi has been followed by Manchester United since the start of the season, and Kone's value could be boosted by a strong showing at the World Cup.
Alex Scott, on the other hand, is seen as a more creative option, capable of bringing craft and quality to Manchester United's midfield. The club will need to balance availability and asking price when assessing Scott's potential signing.
The arrival of Santos will certainly be a welcome addition, but it remains to be seen whether one or two more signings are required to complete Manchester United's midfield overhaul. The club's next move will have a significant impact on how Michael Carrick's team shapes up next season.
