A fresh insight into the ongoing plans of the powers that be at Premier League giants Manchester United to reinforce the club’s midfield ranks has been provided on Sunday evening.
The subject of engine room additions has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines on the red half of Manchester ahead of the summer.
This comes with Erik ten Hag evidently of the opinion that his squad is in need of fresh blood in the middle of the park.
Until very recently, Mason Mount had been widely labelled as the leading candidate to fill this void, only for the refusal of the Chelsea board to budge on their hefty asking price to culminate in a breakdown in talks between the two clubs.

Man United, in turn, have been left with little choice but to shift their attentions elsewhere, with Brighton & Hove Albion standout Moises Caicedo now firmly in the sights of the Old Trafford brass.
If the latest word stemming from the media late on Sunday is anything to go by, however, then the Red Devils’ midfield shortlist does not end there.
The info comes by way of Rob Dawson of ESPN, who points towards an Eredivisie duo.
The players in question? In-demand Ajax standout Mohammed Kudus, and FC Utrecht’s United States international, Taylor Booth.
