Manchester United 'put together six-man midfield shortlist'

Manchester United have reportedly identified six potential midfield options during this summer's transfer window, as Paul Pogba prepares to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer.

The Red Devils are widely expected to move for at least one central midfielder in the upcoming market, with their problems in that area of the field again on display during an underwhelming 2021-22 campaign.

According to the Daily Mail, West Ham United's Declan Rice, Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips, Wolverhampton Wanderers' Ruben Neves and Brighton & Hove Albion's Yves Bissouma are all targets.

Meanwhile, the report claims that the 20-time English champions are also looking outside of the Premier League at Monaco's Aurelien Tchouameni and Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Rice is likely to be the most expensive option on the list, with West Ham believed to value the England international in the region of £150m.

Phillips, meanwhile, is said to be keen to sign a new contract with Leeds, while Neves, Bissouma, Milinkovic-Savic and Tchouameni are also believed to be summer targets for other leading European clubs.

Man United will be looking to boost their top-four hopes in the Premier League when they welcome struggling Norwich City to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
