Man Utd have put an offer on the table for Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils are reportedly looking to sign at least two midfielders in the summer transfer window after failing to improve that area of the team last summer.<\/p>\n
Casemiro has already revealed that he will be leaving Old Trafford on a free transfer in the summer, while Manuel Ugarte seems likely to be sold.<\/p>\n
There have been reports over the last couple of days that Newcastle duo Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali<\/a> have risen to the top of their list of midfield targets.<\/p>\n Man Utd<\/a> have paired Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro in midfield in recent weeks with Michael Carrick having great success in his first nine matches in charge.<\/p>\n The third-placed Red Devils now look likely to qualify for the Champions League and that will boost their transfer budget ahead of next season.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Five massive Man Utd contract mistakes amid calls for Casemiro extension<\/a><\/p>\n And INEOS are looking to make waves in the transfer market over the summer with reports in Spain claiming they have made an \u2018offer\u2019 of \u20ac120m (\u00a3104m) for Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham.<\/p>\n It is understood that figure \u2018could even rise to \u20ac150 million if negotiations progress towards terms the Spanish club would consider acceptable this summer\u2019.<\/p>\n The report adds:\u00a0\u2018Within the British club, the obsession with regaining lost prestige has led to the consideration of names of absolute world-class stature. The club knows that signing a talent of this magnitude would completely change the competitive dynamic of a squad that needs clear role models.<\/p>\n \u2018Manchester United see the British player as the missing piece to complete a dream midfield alongside the young Kobbie Mainoo.\u2019<\/p>\n Despite the huge offer, \u2018sources close to Real Madrid consider it unlikely that the English star will decide to leave the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u in the short term.\u2019<\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes is another Man Utd player who has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the summer and former Red Devils chief scout Mick Brown insists they \u201cneed to be firm\u201d with the Portugal international.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider: \u201cMan United need to be firm with Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u201cThey spoke last season internally and decided they might be prepared to let him go to Saudi Arabia for the right offer, but he decided he wanted to stay.<\/p>\n \u201cIf that same scenario comes up this summer, they now know they cannot afford to let him go, and will be doing everything in their power to keep him.<\/p>\n \u201cA big part of the issue Fernandes had earlier in the season was that he didn\u2019t feel wanted. So he was coming out in the media speaking about the situation.<\/p>\n \u201cSince Carrick has come in, it\u2019s been clear how important Bruno is to the club and to the team.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he recognises that, and the board must do as well, because there\u2019s no way they\u2019re going to let him go any time soon, it would be suicide.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m told they have been looking at potential replacements in case he was to go, but I wouldn\u2019t read too much into that because that\u2019s what they should be doing.<\/p>\n \u201cYou always have to be prepared for what might happen, but as far as they\u2019re concerned, Bruno Fernandes is a crucial player and should be kept at all costs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd have put an offer on the table for Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham ahead of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-483988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
