- Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with French midfielder Manu Kone, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
- Despite this agreement, the club has not yet submitted an official bid for Kone, but are expected to pursue a defensive midfielder this summer after securing Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
- The need for reinforcements at Manchester United is pressing, following the departure of Casemiro and a long-term injury sustained by Manuel Ugarte at the World Cup.
- The club also recently missed out on signing Elliot Anderson, who ultimately joined rivals Manchester City in a significant £116 million transfer.
- Kone, who represented France at the World Cup, is valued by his club Roma at approximately €50 million, with Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Al-Hilal also reportedly showing interest.
