Manchester United are considering submitting a bid for their third potential midfield signing.
Aiming to overhaul their midfield ahead of next season, the Red Devils have already secured the services of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, having spent a combined £85m on the Premier League-proven duo.
Now, INEOS are eyeing a move for another midfielder who has proven his mettle in the Premier League.
Manchester United plot raid on Bournemouth
According to talkSPORT, Manchester United are considering a bid for Bournemouth ace Tyler Adams.
“While talks Bournemouth would be willing to accept as little as £35m for Adams have been dismissed by senior club sources, the USA international is seen as a cheaper alternative to many of the other names on United’s shortlist,” the report adds.
The 27-year-old has less than 24 months left to run on his contract at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries are adamant they do not want to part ways with Alex Scott, who is also highly admired at Old Trafford, but it seems their stance regarding the exit of his senior teammate is considerably softer.
It is added that United have expressed interest in Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, but the pursuit for the Frenchman is proving “too expensive”. Other potential options allegedly include France stars Manu Kone and Eduardo Camavinga.
Why United are eyeing Tyler Adams
Adams, who previously played for United’s bitter rivals, Leeds United, may be the least exciting name on the list, but his profile is ideal to complement the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Youri Tielemans.
Michael Carrick’s side need somebody with legs to cover ground and help his more technically gifted teammates dictate the tempo of play.
A product of Red Bull’s football setup, the USMNT international is known for his relentless energy and ball-winning ability.
The Cherries star is thought to be highly admired by United’s analysts, who claim the American is statistically better than Manchester City’s Ballon d’Or winner Rodri in some aspects.
