Man United lining up summer move for 25-year-old Ligue 1 star midfielder as Joao Neves Alternative

Manchester United are looking to improve their midfield options with the signing of Youssouf Fofana in the summer.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, they are keeping tabs on several midfielders ahead of the summer transfer window. Adrien Rabiot and Joao Neves are on their radar as well

Manchester United need to bring in midfield reinforcements at the end of the season and it is no surprise that they are looking at multiple options.

They will need to improve their squad at the end of the season if they want to bounce back strongly next season.

They have had a mediocre campaign so far and the midfield is an area that is in desperate need of reinforcements. Fofana will add physicality, defensive qualities, and control in the middle of the park.

The Monaco star certainly has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League and he could be a key player for the Red Devils. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can secure an agreement with the French outfit in the coming weeks.

They have the financial resources to convince Monaco to sell the 25-year-old and Fofana is likely to be tempted to join a big club like Manchester United.

Although they are going through a rough patch right now, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for most players.

The likes of and Rabiot and Neves are likely to cost a lot of money. Neves has a substantial release clause and Rabiot will command massive wages as he will be available on a free transfer.

Fofana could be a more reasonable investment for the Red Devils, and they should look to get the deal done
