Manchester United hope to sign a midfielder this summer, and the attention may now turn to a Champions League winner.
Attacking additions are the focus for Ruben Amorim, but Manchester United must look at other positions.
Altay Bayindir is expected to leave United this summer, meaning another goalkeeper must be on the Old Trafford radar.
Reports also suggest that United want to sign a midfielder on loan this summer.
Christian Eriksen has departed United on a free transfer, and Amorim may look for more quality in the engine room.
Felix Nmecha is on United’s radar, though prising the former Manchester City talent away from Borussia Dortmund won’t be easy.

Manchester United eye Paris Saint-Germain’s Fabian Ruiz
Another name has emerged as Foot Mercato report that United are now interested in signing Fabian Ruiz.
The Spanish international midfielder played a key role as Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League, demolishing Inter in the final.
More United News
Fabian has just two years left on his contract, and United are now looking to lure him to Old Trafford.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr are also thought to be interested in Fabian, but PSG currently have no plans to let him go.
Fabian is ‘highly regarded’ by PSG boss and fellow Spaniard Luis Enrique, who considers the former Napoli star to be a key man in midfield.
PSG are yet to kick off new contract talks for Fabian, but they want to keep him alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves in midfield.
Ineos can make a serious statement by signing Fabian Ruiz
United fans will be wary of this rumour, believing that the club’s name is being thrown into the mix as leverage to help Fabian secure a new contract.
If a deal is possible, though, then this would be a real coup for United and a signal of intent.
Fabian has not only just won the Champions League, but played an absolutely integral part in PSG’s midfield domination.
United have often struggled to control games in the middle of the pitch, but Fabian has shown that quality during his time in France.
Fabian can get on the ball from deep and build attacks, but is also more than capable of impacting the game in the final third, notching five goals and 10 assists last season.
Spain boss Luis De la Fuente has hailed Fabian as ‘exceptional’ and ‘world class’ as quoted by The Guardian, and he continues to shine for club and country.
United have been burned by signing players in Fabian’s age range before, but his exceptional displays for PSG and Spain leave us excited about any chance of a United move.
