'On my knees', 'No way' - Lots of Man Utd fans react as late talks opened for 'the key signing'

Manchester United have opened talks with the representatives of AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

And, as to be expected, a number of United supporters were quick to flock to the update on social media.

According to reports from France, relayed by The Sun, United have entered the race for the 22-year-old, who holds a valuation of £36m.

Primarily a defensive midfielder, he’s made 76 appearances for his current employers after joining from Bordeaux two years ago.

Tchouameni, who also has seven caps to his name for France, is wanted by some of the biggest clubs in the world, with Barcelona and Real Madrid name-checked with an interest.

However, it’s United who have reportedly spoken with the player’s entourage and are tracking Tchouameni ahead of a summer move.

@utdreport relayed the update regarding United’s talks for Tchouameni on Twitter, with one fan believing the youngster could be ‘the key signing’.

Indeed, much has been made of the club’s need for a defensive midfield signing, and Tchouameni boasts a hugely impressive 2.9 tackles and 2.7 interceptions per game in Ligue 1 this season.
