Manchester United reportedly have as many as nine midfielders on their list of transfer targets for this summer, including Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, and Carlos Baleba.
We’ve seen those names linked with the Red Devils a few times, and it seems we can also add a few more big names.

According to Fichajes, the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Alex Scott, James Garner, and Shea Charles are also under consideration at Old Trafford.
United fans will no doubt have a few favourites in mind for the role, but it could be that the club will bring in more than one new addition as they look to invest as much as £150m on that part of their squad, according to Fichajes.

From that list, it would surely make sense to make Anderson and Wharton the two top targets, with the talented young England duo looking like the dream options, if a bit less realistic due to the amount they’d cost, and the long list of other top clubs also surely chasing them.
Outside of those two, there’s also a lot to be said for investing in prospects like Fernandes and Baleba, who have shown a lot of potential in the Premier League, even if they’re not quite at the level of Anderson or Wharton just yet.

If those names don’t work out for whatever reason, MUFC could certainly still do well to bring in someone like Tonali or Garner, while Scott has also shown a lot of promise at Bournemouth.
Charles is a surprise name, though, due to his relative inexperience, but could end up being a smart investment for the future.
The 22-year-old was on the books at Manchester City as a youngster, and he’s impressed for Southampton, albeit at Championship level.
