Manchester United plans midfield revamp amid rising costs

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is working on a midfield overhaul this summer, having secured Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans with a combined initial cost of £82 million. Despite this progress, the club requires a specialist defensive midfielder to complete their plans. However, the asking prices for targets such as Manu Koné, Alex Scott, and Eduardo Camavinga, projected between £60 million to £80 million, make acquiring another player difficult. Financial constraints mean United will focus on player sales moving forward, with key departures expected before the transfer window closes.
