The Red Devils are heavily focusing their recruitment on bringing in new midfielders after it was confirmed that Casemiro is leaving the club this summer.

Manchester United have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, paying in the region of £38m to secure his signature.

The Red Devils also believe that they will complete a deal to sign West Ham United star Fernandes, with the Portuguese midfielder being keen on a move to Old Trafford.

United are working hard to bring in new additions ahead of the 26/27 season, with midfield clearly the priority position.

Manchester United have opened talks to sign young Belgian midfielder Nathan De Cat in the summer transfer window.

The young star burst onto the scene with Anderlecht last season and is now attracting interest from a host of clubs, including those in the Premier League.

The Belgian club would consider offers in the region of £35m, which could be a club record sale.

The Red Devils have an advantage over many of their rivals in the race to secure his signature, with the report claiming that those not competing in Europe are not in a strong position to land him.

De Cat, described as 'one of the best young midfielders' in Europe, would likely be more of a long-term addition than someone to come in and be a guaranteed starter, but there's no doubt he has the ability to make an impact if needed.

Manchester United clearly mean business in the summer transfer window, which is no surprise after what happened last season.

Michael Carrick did a superb job in guiding the Red Devils into the Champions League places, and the board are looking to back him after his impressive start to life at Old Trafford.

United also qualified for Champions League football, meaning they will need a deeper and more competitive squad in order to deal with the hectic fixture schedule.

As a result, it looks set to be a busy summer transfer window for the Manchester club, who were already making moves so early in the window.
