Manchester United can solve transfer priority with 'special' £26m player Arne Slot loves

Amid all the noise surrounding Manchester United's summer transfer business there is one glaring priority that has produced little in the way of potential solutions.

United's search for attacking midfield reinforcements has made waves in the transfer market following the arrival of Matheus Cunha for £62.5million and their public pursuit of Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo.

Similarly, it is common knowledge that United are desperate to sign a proven goalscorer. There was disappointment when Liam Delap opted to join Chelsea, while they have been linked with moves for the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike.

But signing a new midfielder was also high on United's list of priorities this summer and, as of yet, there has been little in the way of progress on that front.

There's even been very little in the way of transfer links, with Atalanta midfielder Ederson possibly the only notable name to have been tentatively linked with a move to Old Trafford next season.

Bruno Fernandes is expected to drop back into a deeper midfield role next season and all eyes are on who will partner him at the base of midfield.

Christian Eriksen will leave the club on a free transfer next week, while this summer will offer United the last chance to offload Brazilian international Casemiro, 33, for a significant transfer fee.

That leaves Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo as the two other options to partner Fernandes but it also means United would need to bring in another midfield body to compete with them.

Ugarte is a favourite of Ruben Amorim
