Manchester United is considering a move for Nicolas Raskin, the Belgian midfielder who performed well at the World Cup. Under head coach Michael Carrick, the club has already acquired two midfielders this summer, but is still in search of a defensive option. Raskin's asking price has risen to around £25 million after Rangers rejected a £14 million offer from Hull City. Other clubs, including Inter Milan and Aston Villa, are also interested in Raskin, complicating United's pursuit. As funds are limited following recent signings, United may see Raskin as a cost-effective solution for strengthening their midfield roster.
