Manchester United and West Ham United have made little progress in their talks over a transfer fee for Mateus Fernandes.
It has been widely reported that Manchester United have persuaded Fernandes to move to Old Trafford, with the player already agreeing personal terms. However, the Red Devils are yet to submit a formal offer to West Ham.
United have no intention of meeting West Ham’s £80 million valuation for their midfield gem. The Red Devils could be forced to look elsewhere if the Hammers’ stance remains unchanged.
Manchester United told asking price for Tyler Adams
Manchester United’s priority is to sign Premier League-proven midfielders, and the club has set its sights on a midfielder potentially available at half the price of Mateus Fernandes.
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United and Chelsea are both keeping a close eye on Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams.
“The United States international has rebuilt his reputation strongly after injury problems earlier in his Bournemouth career, and his energy, tackling and tactical discipline have made him an attractive option for bigger clubs,” the report states.
Bournemouth are not particularly open to losing Adams, who moved to the south coast from Leeds United. However, the USMNT international has just two years left to run on his current deal with the Cherries.
It is claimed “a serious offer could force a conversation.”
A proposal in the region of £30m could reportedly test Bournemouth’s resolve.
Contact made for midfielder statistically better than Rodri
United view Adams as “a realistic and relatively affordable” Premier League-proven option, having been left impressed with the 27-year-old’s defensive numbers, work rate and ability to cover ground.
Last month, The Peoples Person relayed a report from The Athletic claiming United are “in touch to understand the cost” of a potential deal for Adams.
It has previously been reported that the Bournemouth midfield engine has caught the attention of United’s analysts, who claim the American is statistically better than Manchester City’s Ballon d’Or winner Rodri in some aspects.

This whole summer transfer issue with MU is a drama. MU new partial British Owner Radcliffe is a blood sucker, he is worst then Glazers family members.
Look what he has done after taking over MU, slash the work force (lead management, fuck it), total disaster and raise the ticket prices without any consideration of the economy crisis hit UK.
Promised the fans if MU qualify to Champions League, he ensure to buy the players needed to revamp the MU team, with quality player irrelevant to the value of the players.
Now, all of you fans can see what this British Billionaire moron is doing, don’t want to give a go head to buy the players needed for the team to challenge the title.
Giving all type reasons and negotiating peanuts and getting 3 class players. This has been going on all this while. When the team plays badly and start losing, all the blame is pointed to the managers. And he will be sack after 3 months of is appointment.
The team plays bad is not the managers are not good, the MU fxxking board of directors are main cause. Buying useless and cheap players. When you pay peanuts, the saying goes, you get monkeys, that’s what we got.
MU fans in UK wake up and make a strong demonstration in front of OT stadium and ensure we get the top players needed to challenge the title next season.
Enough is enough and start your protest before it is too late.
Get Radcliffe out and the MU board of directors asap.
MU is in your hands fans. You have to start now to save the team.
Have I got this the wrong way round?It is stated that Man U have agreed terms for Fernandes and as yet he is a West Ham player under contract and apparently no bid has been made for him.Surely you get agreement between the two teams to transfer him BEFORE you offer him terms.If the bid is not acceptable or the terms are unacceptable then the player stays where he is.Am I wrong?
