Manchester United targets Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough this summer

Manchester United aims to acquire Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough in a summer midfield revamp, preparing to compete with other Premier League clubs. Casemiro's contract expires this month, and United hopes to secure Hackney, who has only one year left on his contract. There are reports of a potential transfer fee around £25 million. Hackney is seen as a key target, particularly due to his connection with United's head coach Michael Carrick, who previously managed him at Middlesbrough.
