Manchester United are monitoring Aurelien Tchouameni ahead of the summer transfer window amid uncertainty surrounding the midfielder’s long-term future at Real Madrid.
United are expected to prioritise strengthening their midfield this summer, with the club searching for a long-term successor to Casemiro.
The Brazilian has enjoyed something of a resurgence this season despite turning 34, but with his exit already confirmed, the Red Devils are planning for the future in the holding role.
Depth in that area remains a concern for Man United as Manuel Ugarte has struggled to consistently replicate Casemiro’s influence when called upon.
Meanwhile, Kobbie Mainoo continues to develop and is still viewed as a work in progress.
As a result, United are exploring multiple midfield options ahead of what could be a busy summer window. Elliot Anderson is currently viewed as a priority target, although competition from Manchester City could complicate a potential deal. Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba are also understood to be high on the club’s shortlist.
According to Flash Score, Tchouameni is among the names now being considered as part of that recruitment drive.
United previously showed interest in the France international in 2022 before he completed a big-money move from AS Monaco to Madrid.
Since arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu, the 26-year-old has established himself as an important figure in the Spanish capital, winning major honours including La Liga and the Champions League.
However, Madrid are reportedly assessing their midfield options ahead of the summer as they look to refresh the department following the departures of influential figures such as Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
Should the Spanish giants pursue a different midfield profile, Tchouameni could emerge as a potential option for clubs monitoring the situation, with United among those keeping a close watch.
