Manchester United interested in signing Hayden Hackney this summer

Summary

Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Hayden Hackney as part of their midfield rebuild this summer. With Casemiro likely departing and Manuel Ugarte's future uncertain, United identifies Hackney as a potential target. Manager Michael Carrick, who previously worked with the 23-year-old at Middlesbrough, is advocating for the signing. However, United faces competition from Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur, who are also pursuing Hackney. This season, the former England youth international has made 41 appearances, scoring six goals and providing seven assists for Middlesbrough.
