Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox is at it again as the club considers making a summer move to sign Fulham attacker Harry Wilson, according to TEAMtalk.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Man United's top summer transfer priority is to add two new central midfielders to their squad, with Casemiro leaving when his contract expires at the end of the season.
GMS understands that the Red Devils will look at other positions too, such as right-back, striker and a versatile left-sided player, but their ability to do that could depend on how their season finishes.
Champions League football next season would not only boost their budget, but it would also make them more of an attractive proposition for targets.
United are currently on course to qualify for Europe's elite club competition via the Premier League, where they currently lie third place in the standings.
Michael Carrick's men lie six points above fifth-placed Liverpool with seven matches remaining, with a top-five finish set to be enough to guarantee a spot in the 2026-27 Champions League.

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United are keeping an eye on the situation of Wilson at Craven Cottage.
As things stand, the 29-year-old will be a free agent in the summer when his Fulham contract expires, and he is viewed as one of the best Premier League free transfers for many years.
The west Londoners have made it clear they want the Wales international to stay, but the level of interest in him from the Premier League makes an exit increasingly likely.
As well as the interest from United, arch-rivals Liverpool are also said to be considering a surprise move to re-sign Wilson, having sold him to Fulham in 2022.
The playmaker has also emerged as a key target for Tottenham Hotspur and new manager Roberto De Zerbi, should they preserve their Premier League status.
Wilson Would be a Great Signing for United

Not only is he available on a free transfer, but Wilson has been in the form of his life for Fulham this season and has been labelled as 'magical' by manager Marco Silva.
The 69-cap Wales international is older than United's recent transfer strategy of signing players in their mid-20s, but he would boost a squad who will be playing lots more matches next season if they qualify for the Champions League.
Wilson has scored 10 goals and provided a further six assists in 29 Premier League appearances for Fulham this term, and the opportunity to sign him on a free is a no-brainer.
He has been described as 'one of the best Premier League players in the final third' by one PA journalist, as he continues to show his quality in a white shirt.
Jason Wilcox could soon pull off another impressive transfer coup at Old Trafford.
