Rio Ferdinand suggests Manchester United may target Aurelien Tchouameni

Rio Ferdinand has commented on Manchester United's potential transfer strategy following Tottenham Hotspur's agreement to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United for £85 million. United's plans may shift towards Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, as Ferdinand believes the club is holding funds specifically for him. While Tottenham completed their move for Fernandes, United reportedly offered £70 million with additional performance-related add-ons but could consider a better offer for Tchouameni, who could replace Casemiro. The France international is also sought after by other clubs, though his future with Madrid remains uncertain.
