Manchester United have been in talks to sign another midfielder, following the arrivals of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.
Tielemans became the second new addition to Man United's midfield on Tuesday. After completing a move to Old Trafford, the Belgian said: "Signing for such a special club feels incredible; it is the culmination of years of dedication since I first fell in love with football.
"I have had the privilege of experiencing success in the game, and it has only increased my determination to achieve more. The ambition from everyone at the club is extremely clear; we are all determined to push for the biggest trophies over the coming years."
However, in order to start competing at the top table of European football once again, United may need to make another addition in the middle of the park.
Man Utd open talks to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi
According to reporter Ben Jacobs, the Red Devils have now opened talks to sign Lille star Ayyoub Bouaddi, with the French side seeking €100m (£85m) for the Moroccan maestro.
Should an interested party be willing to loan Bouaddi back to Lille for a year, their asking price would drop, with Arsenal also in hot pursuit. David Ornstein even revealed earlier this week that he was now Manchester City's top target. The Citizens are pushing to get a deal done.

Ayyoub Bouaddi draws comparisons to Wayne Rooney
European football broadcaster Andy Brassell is a big admirer of the Lille prodigy, saying: "He's not the same player as Wayne Rooney, obviously, but I think you get a little bit of that Wayne Rooney or Jude Bellingham feel for him.
"In terms of how he's physically built, it says on his birth certificate that he's a boy, but he looks like a man immediately."
Former Morocco international Mehdi Benatia is a big fan too, saying: "He's a phenomenon, the kind of player that is very rarely born."
Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi
Not only was the starlet a first-team regular for Lille last season, but he also started five of Morocco's six World Cup games, winning four tackles and maintaining a 91% pass-completion rate in a 1-1 draw against Brazil.
Having already proven himself for club and country at such a young age, Bouaddi could be a fantastic signing for Manchester United.
