Transfer rumors, news: Man United outline preferred midfield targets

"Manchester United want to make four signings in the summer transfer window. United want to bring in two midfielders to offset departures with Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, Brighton & Hove Albion's Carlos Baleba and AFC Bournemouth's being of interest. They also want a left-sided center-back option in case Harry Maguire leaves and could look to sign a back-up goalkeeper with Altay Bayindir set to depart."

"Manchester United seemingly won't have it all their own way when it comes to Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, as Bayern Munich ready to step up their interest in the 23-year-old. There have also been various reports in recent times linking Manchester City with the England international, who now has six caps to his name and has impressed despite Forest's struggles."

"Juventus also want the Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka who will be a free agent in the summer. Juve have made two failed attempts to sign the 31-year-old Germany international during his career, and they are ready to make a third. Luciano Spalletti has now put Goretzka at the top of his list for the summer and Juventus are pressing to overcome the competition for his signature."

Manchester United plans to make four summer signings to strengthen their squad. They seek two midfielders to replace departing players, with targets including Sandro Tonali, Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, and others. A left-sided center-back is needed as backup if Harry Maguire departs. A backup goalkeeper is also sought with Altay Bayindir leaving. Competition intensifies for key targets: Bayern Munich and Manchester City pursue Elliot Anderson, while Juventus joins AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Arsenal in pursuing free agent Leon Goretzka. Barcelona targets João Cancelo on a free transfer from Al Hilal.
