Manchester United consider January bid for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni

Manchester United are reportedly tracking Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni for a potential transfer in the January window. Despite recruiting Youri Tielemans, Carlos Baleba, and Andrey Santos during the summer, the Premier League side views the Frenchman as an upgrade for their midfield rotation. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has expressed frustration regarding Tchouameni's fitness, as the player has yet to feature for the squad this season due to physical issues. Reports suggest that Los Blancos may be willing to facilitate a departure, though they are expected to request a transfer fee of approximately €100 million. Whether Manchester United decides to pursue a deal at that price remains uncertain given the club already invested in several midfield reinforcements earlier this year.
