Aurelien Tchouameni (Real Madrid): Tchouaméni brings exceptional defensive anticipation, elite aerial dominance, and press-resistant passing that would instantly stabilise United's midfield. However, his arrival from Real Madrid looks unlikely given his high wage demands

Alex Scott (Bournemouth): A versatile, ball-carrying player with fantastic technical press resistance, Scott’s sharp tactical awareness and ability to drive forward out of tight spaces offer a mobile midfielder for United. Bournemouth have so far not entertained any offers for their star midfielder.

Carlos Baleba (Brighton): A raw, dynamic powerhouse built for the modern Premier League, Baleba offers explosive athleticism and relentless ball-winning energy, making him an ideal high-upside candidate to replace Casemiro's physical presence. The young star is currently out injured.

Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace): Wharton's calm composure under pressure and forward-thinking vision would allow Manchester United to dictate matches from deep rather than simply breaking up play. Likened to Man United manager Michael Carrick, Wharton would prove to be a good option for United

Sander Berge (Fulham): A proven Premier League player, standing at 6'5", Berge combines physical strength and ball recovery skills with smooth distribution, offering a reliable and adaptable option to anchor the midfield. However, United will need a more complete player to replace the outgoing Casemiro.
