Manchester United midfield recruitment plan for summer window: cost-effectiveness first, multiple goals are to be determined

June 30th, Manchester United's midfield signing plan in the summer window is progressing steadily, but due to the budget, the team can only find the right candidate within limited funds. With the departure of 33-year-old veteran Eriksson, Ruben Amorin urgently needs to supplement the team's midfield strength. His preferred 343 formation requires high offensive and defensive capabilities for midfielders, but it seems that all the midfielders in the team are difficult to fully match. Casemiro is older, players such as Bruno Fernandez and Mason Mount are strong in attack and weak in defense, while Ugat is stronger in defense than attack, and Toby Collier is too young and vulnerable to injury.

In this case, Manchester United has turned their attention to more cost-effective midfielders. Leicester's Ndidi became a potential cheap target, with his £9 million liquidated damages coming into force as Leicester dropped to the Championship, which costed £17 million when Leicester signed him. Ndidi has extensive Premier League experience, making 30 appearances last season, scoring 1 goal and 5 assists, and his arrival can enhance the team's defensive hardness in the midfield.

In addition, Manchester United has been paying attention to Atlanta's Brazilian international Ederson Santos, but the opponent's £50 million asking price has discouraged Manchester United. Dortmund's Felix Nmecha is also a focus of Manchester United. The 24-year-old Manchester City youth training player has three years left in contract. Dortmund does not intend to let him go easily. Even if Manchester United can convince the other party, he will need to pay a transfer fee of £40 million. Moreover, Nmecha has been plagued by injuries in recent years, which is a big hidden danger.

In addition to the above players, Manchester United's midfield recruitment targets in the summer window also include Douglas Louis of Juventus and Alton Ashari of Bruges, etc., but the club's transfer department is still trying to sign right winger Mbemo first, and signings in other positions must wait until later. There are rumors that after introducing Mbemo, Manchester United plans to buy another four players, including one center, midfielder, goalkeeper and fullback, but fans are not optimistic about Manchester United's transfer efficiency, and joked that the summer transfer window may need to be extended until November to complete these signing plans.
