Manchester United Not in Talks to Sign Aurelien Tchouameni
United Likely to Sell Before Buying Again
The Red Devils are in the market for a new defensive midfielder. The signing of a defensive midfielder has been one of Manchester United’s priorities this summer. Despite having a plethora of options in the centre of the park, the Red Devils have a 33-year-old Nemanja Matic as their only specialist defensive midfielder in the squad. The lack of quality options has forced Ole Gunnar Solskajer to use Fred and Scott McTominay in a double pivot to provide defensive cover for his team. This has seen several players reportedly linked with a move to Old Trafford, Aurelien Tchouameni being one of them.
They are keen to move some of their existing players on during this transfer window before venturing into the market again. Manchester United have already moved out Andreas Pereira, with the Brazilian joining Flamengo on a season-long loan deal. While Jesse Lingard’s future at the club is still uncertain. Young midfielder James Garner is also on his way out with Nottingham Forest looking to sign the midfielder on loan, according to the Nottingham Post
Not in Talks With Corentin Tolisso
Corentin Tolisso is another name who has been linked with a move to Manchester this summer. The Frenchman has struggled to break into a packed Bayern Munich midfielder following his move to Germany in 2017. With just a year remaining on his contract, Bayern Munich are keen to sell the midfielder rather than allow him to move out of the club on loan.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are not currently keen on signing the midfielder. The Italian journalist has denied rumours about the Red Devils making direct contacts with the club or agent regarding a potential move for the midfielder.
