Manchester United are in need of a midfielder. With Casemiro leaving, they have to find a suitable replacement for the Brazilian.
However, there is another United midfielder who could leave next summer. Manuel Ugarte is unhappy with his situation at the club. As a result, he would like to leave.
There are reports that Juventus are interested in signing the Uruguayan. However, if Ugarte leaves, United might need two midfielders.
Now, they already have the likes of Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, and Bruno Guimaraes on their target list.
Also, they have initiated contact with the camp of one of their top midfield targets. However, there is another midfielder United are eyeing, who is also on the radar of Chelsea.
Liam Rosenior’s men are in a battle to secure Champions League football. If they fail to secure the top 4 or 5 finish, then many players could leave next summer.
Real Madrid are seriously tracking Enzo Fernandez, with the Argentine even hinting at a possible move next summer recently. So, the Blues will also look for a replacement if Fernandez leaves.
Now both United and Chelsea are eyeing a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes. According to CaughtOffside, the Portuguese could move next summer.
In fact, there is a high chance that the Wolves midfielder could end up at a top club next summer. It will be difficult for Wolves to survive in the top-flight division this season.
So, if they go down, then Joao Gomes will be looking for a move elsewhere, with both Manchester United and Chelsea are showing strong interest in the midfielder.
