Manchester United have been alerted to the potential availability of AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is understood to be open to a new challenge after finding regular starts hard to come by in Serie A this season, with United<\/a> among a number of English clubs made aware of his situation. Loftus-Cheek joined Milan from Chelsea in 2023 for \u00a315million plus add-ons and has impressed in spells, but has started just eight league matches so far this campaign.<\/p>\n

With United continuing to assess midfield options ahead of the summer, the England international has emerged as a name under consideration as decision-makers weigh up experience, physicality and short-term solutions.<\/p>\n

Man Utd Made Aware of Loftus-Cheek Opportunity<\/p>\n

TEAMtalk report that intermediaries have offered Loftus-Cheek to several Premier League clubs, with Manchester United among those alerted to his availability.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s desire to strengthen in central midfield is well documented, particularly after an inconsistent campaign that has again exposed a lack of depth and reliability in key areas. Loftus-Cheek\u2019s profile – a powerful, box-to-box midfielder with Premier League experience – is understood to appeal as the club explore a range of market opportunities.<\/p>\n

A potential move would also see Loftus-Cheek, who has been described as ‘phenomenal’<\/a>, reunite with former Chelsea<\/a> teammate Mason Mount, though sources stress that United are still in the early stages of assessing whether a deal would fit their wider plans.<\/p>\n

Milan are believed to be open to allowing the midfielder to leave on loan with an option to buy, a structure that could suit United as they look to manage risk while keeping flexibility ahead of a major rebuild.<\/p>\n

Loan Structure and Competition for Signature Complicate Move<\/p>\n

While United have been made aware of the situation, they face competition from several Premier League sides who have also been alerted. There is additional interest from abroad, with Loftus-Cheek previously linked to Juventus<\/a> as part of a potential swap deal involving Federico Gatti, while clubs in Spain have also explored his situation.<\/p>\n

For United, any move is likely to depend on how the midfield market develops and whether priorities shift towards younger, long-term targets. Loftus-Cheek\u2019s age – he turns 30 later this month – could be a factor, but his Premier League pedigree and the possibility of a loan deal make him a viable short-term option.<\/p>\n

At this stage, United are assessing multiple midfield scenarios, but Loftus-Cheek\u2019s availability has put him firmly on their radar as the window approaches.<\/p>\n
