Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for a mystery midfielder, with four potential targets identified. The club is in a period of transition after sacking Ruben Amorim, with Michael Carrick serving as interim head coach until the end of the season.
Central midfield is an area of concern, with doubts over Bruno Fernandes' future and Casemiro expected to leave on a free transfer. United are monitoring Brighton's Carlos Baleba, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton as summer targets, but are also weighing up a move this month.
Ruben Neves, formerly of Wolves and now at Al-Hilal, is a fan favourite. However, a loan deal seems unlikely as Al-Hilal value him at £20m. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, currently at AC Milan, is another option, with the 29-year-old keen for more game time to boost his England World Cup hopes.
Weston McKennie of Juventus has Premier League experience from a loan spell at Leeds United and could be available for around £10m. Finally, Matt O'Riley, on loan at Marseille from Brighton, has impressed in France but a recall and loan to a rival seems improbable.
