Manchester United are exploring plans to buy three midfielders this summer.
ESPN says United want to boost their options in the middle of the park.
Paul Pogba could soon leave Old Trafford on a free transfer, while Nemanja Matic is nearing the end of his career.
And interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who is set to take up a consultancy role this summer, has been working with clubs chiefs to identify star signings.
It's reckoned West Ham's Declan Rice, 23, Leeds' Kalvin Phillips, 26, and RB Leipzig's Amadou Haidara, 24, have all been earmarked as targets.
And negotiations with the three midfielders, as well as their clubs, could commence shortly.
United reportedly had up to 15 midfielders on their shortlist before cutting it down to Rice, Phillips and Haidara.
But United also hope to consult their next permanent manager before splashing the cash on any new faces.
