Manchester United are monitoring Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as they look to prioritise a central midfield signing. The France international is one of several options the club is considering to bolster its squad during the upcoming transfer window, according to The Athletic. United officials want to address the position as a matter of urgency following a season of inconsistent performances.
Tchouameni joined Real Madrid from Monaco in 2022 for a fee reported to be worth up to £85m. He has since become a regular figure in Carlo Ancelotti's side, though United believe a deal could be explored, per Sky Sports. The 24-year-old remains under a long-term contract at the Bernabeu, which may complicate negotiations between the two clubs.
United manager Erik ten Hag has previously emphasised the need for physical presence and technical quality in the centre of the pitch. While other targets remain on the shortlist, Tchouameni is regarded as a profile that fits the requirements for the Premier League, according to The Guardian.
