Manchester United believe that it would be possible for them to get a deal done for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, according to journalist Andy Mitten.
Tchouameni is one of the best midfielders in the world and is a key player for Madrid.
Man Utd, who need just two more points to finish in the Premier League top five this season, are keen on a 2026 summer deal for Tchouameni.
Speaking on the Talk of the Devils podcast, Mitten said about Tchouameni: “Interestingly, it’s someone who Ralf Rangnick identified that United should be signing four years ago.
“He was absolutely adamant with that (that the club should’ve gone all-out for Tchouameni). So it’s funny how these things come around.”
Mitten continued: “It might be him (Tchouameni) trying to get a better deal (from Madrid). You know – ‘Look where I could go to’. But my understanding for a couple of months has been: it is possible.”
Former Man Utd defender Rio Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel: “Tchouameni would be great but is he available? I don’t know if he’s available. His experience is huge.
“I think he speaks English as well, so that’s not an issue. I think he’s a fantastic footballer.
“I remember the game France-England in a tournament, I think it was Qatar. He was majestic. He was strong. He was commanding. He’s played in huge games. He has the experience. So I wouldn’t worry about him, I’d be very happy to get him.
“Baleba has got huge potential but has had a bit of a dip this season from where he was the season before.
“Anderson I think would be a great signing. Again, Premier League proven, great energy, I think there can be huge improvements, his ceiling is quite high, I think there is more to come from him that you can get out of him at Man United. I think Michael Carrick would be a great tutor for him as well.
“It’s going to be difficult. Who is available – let’s go from there.”
