Manchester United are continuing to monitor potential signings in the transfer market, taking to the World Cup stage to monitor a few of their targets.
There are plenty of players on the radar for the Red Devils, particularly in the midfield, where there is the most change expected within the squad.
The signing of Ederson is all but complete at this stage, while there is interest in the likes of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali as potential other signings in the central ranks.
Then there’s the possible move for Felix Nmecha, as interest from Man United in the Germany international is seemingly stepping up this summer.
Man United Scouts Watch Felix Nmecha
Nmecha has emerged as a potential option for Man United this summer, following another season of impressive displays for Borussia Dortmund.
The former Manchester City man could add some quality to the central ranks as well as some potential to grow even further in the future at the age of just 25.
As interest in him grows, Football Insider reports that Man United scouts were recently in attendance to watch Nmecha play for Germany in their World Cup rout over Curacao.
The £105m-rated star picked up a goal and an assist in the 7-1 victory, while he also started for his national team in the clash with the Ivory Coast in their second group stage match.
The report claims that the United scouts were left “blown away” by his performance in the former, which could well lead to a transfer switch this summer.
It remains to be seen if that is a distinct possibility, with Borussia Dortmund likely to value him at a large transfer fee if he is to leave in the coming weeks.
Man United’s Costly Midfield Rebuild
A move for Nmecha is unlikely to come cheap, because of Borussia Dortmund’s stance against a possible sale in the coming months of the transfer window.
Between him and the other options on the cards, any deal for Man United is likely to be expensive, during a summer where midfielders are a priority for many teams.
The likes of Fernandes and Tonali are ranging from £80 million to £100 million in the market, an expensive deal that is likely to be a marquee signing.
Given how important it is, United clearly need to get deals over the line in midfield, but it looks set to take up almost all of the summer transfer budget.
