Bruno Fernandes is keen for Manchester United to target a move for West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes. According to reports, Fernandes will recommend his Portugal teammate to the club. Manchester United are expected to be in the market for two midfielders this summer.
United Eyeing Midfield Options
Manchester United are preparing for the potential departure of Casemiro when his contract expires. Mateus Fernandes is one player who could be a replacement. The club’s sporting director, Hugo Viana, is already a strong admirer of the 21-year-old. ESPN’s resident scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen ranked Mateus Fernandes at No. 33 in his list of the best U21s players in world football.
Other Potential United Targets
Manchester United have also been tracking Bayern Munich winger Maycon Cardozo. The 17-year-old recently signed a new contract with Bayern and has made his first-team debut. Manchester United are reportedly impressed by Cardozo’s technical ability. A move for Cardozo may be difficult due to his recent contract renewal.
Chelsea and Others Active in Transfer Market
Chelsea are reportedly in talks to sign Strasbourg midfielder Valentín Barco. Atlético Madrid will soon make an opening offer for Atalanta midfielder Éderson. Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are among the clubs interested in Blackburn Rovers defender Tom Atcheson.
Several European clubs are also monitoring Atcheson, including RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta and Napoli.
