Manchester United could try to prise one of West Ham United’s key men away from Graham Potter this summer.
West Ham will have to fight off the advances of Manchester United this summer it seems, as Ruben Amorim tries to overhaul his squad at Old Trafford.
Graham Potter has a seriously difficult job on his hands at the London Stadium.
It seems like Potter has misunderstood the fact that West Ham fans want to see a high intensity playing style, rather than aimless passing out from the back.

He needs to strengthen his squad considerably this summer, but numerous players will be leaving the club as well.
And one of our most talented players could be set to swap the London Stadium for Old Trafford.
Manchester United want West Ham star Jean-Clair Todibo
Jean-Clair Todibo has been very much hit and miss since joining the Hammers on a loan deal from Nice in the summer of 2024.
When Julen Lopetegui was in charge at the London Stadium, the 25-year-old was clearly unhappy.

It was even suggested that Todibo regretted joining West Ham from Nice back in the summer.
However, he does seem to be far happier now with Potter at the helm. Despite that, his spell with West Ham could be a very short-lived one indeed.
Claret and Hugh have suggested that Man United could make an offer in the region of £45 million for Todibo this summer.
Described by the Hammers’ own official website as ‘one of the best defenders in the world’, the 25-year-old really is an elite player.

He has struggled with his fitness this season, but when he’s on form, he is an exceptional centre-back.
What Jean-Clair Todibo told agents about potential West Ham exit
The Hammers owners will activate the obligation to buy clause they hold in Todibo’s contract this summer.
But will he remain at the London Stadium for years to come? Or will his stay in East London be a very short one indeed?
The Frenchman has apparently told his agents that he’s very happy at West Ham, and that he wants to stay at the London Stadium.
It remains to be seen whether he stands by that if a club like Man United come in for him though.
Should Manchester United come knocking for Jean-Clair Todibo this summer, it wouldn’t be a major shock to see the centre-back leave West Ham.
