Manchester United are looking to buy one or two new midfielders in the summer window, with Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel · Ugarte, Real Sociedad's Subimendi, Juventus' Rabiot and Fiorentina's Amrabat among the four candidates, but the latest rumours suggest that the Red Devils want to beat AC Milan again for Youssouf Fofana·

The Red Devils have already snatched Bologna centre-forward Joshua · Zirzek from Milan this summer, while Fofana has agreed to a four-year contract from the Rossoneri, pending an agreement between the club and Monaco to complete the transfer.

France's RMC Sport reports that while Milan have agreed with the player, Manchester United could step in again. The 25-year-old has only one year left on his contract with Monaco, so the price will not be exorbitant. Sky Sports Italy claims that only €18 million is needed to get the player, down from €25 million previously.

Rumours of Manchester United's transfer to Fofana have appeared from time to time in the past two years. In addition to the Red Devils, another Champions League club is also said to want to compete with Milan. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a rumor of "price increase" concocted by Monaco and the player's agent in order to force Milan to move faster.

One of United's unavailable midfielders is Belgium international Amadou ·Onana, who has already completed a £50 million move from Everton to Aston Villa. The 22-year-old says manager Unai Emery is the reason he chose Villa Park. "There's a little bit of everything. As a player and as a person, there is a healthy atmosphere for growing up here. The team played very attractive football last season, scored a lot of goals and will now play in the Champions League. I'm going to play in the Champions League again and it's very exciting. We also have one of the best coaches in the business and I think he can take my game to the next level." Onana explained, "Yuri [Tielemans] also played a big role and he told me a lot about the benefits of the club."

According to the British media, Ten Hag will give 20-year-old young midfielder Toby · Collier a chance in the new season, and he got playing time in the first two warm-up games and even wore the captain's armband. Collier only joined United in 2022 and has not yet reached the time to become an Academy player for the Red Devils, so he will not be loaned. However, the other two youngsters who have performed well in the preseason will be on loan.

20-year-old goalkeeper Radek · Vitek played the whole game in the 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg, contributing five brilliant saves to keep his team from losing badly and was named Man of the Match. Fellow 20-year-old centre-forward Joe · Hugill scored in a 2-0 win over Glasger Rovers. According to the Manchester Evening News, both men will be on loan in order to play official matches.

It is expected that the two will find a suitable lower-division team to play for after participating in the United States training. Last season, Vitek was loaned to League Two Accrington Stanley, while Hughill was loaned to League One Burton. This summer, a potential loan move for Vitek is expected to be a good one, at least one league upgrade. Hughill scored one goal and provided three assists in 18 League One games last season.

After scoring on Saturday, he revealed the benefits of renting. 'It's good to get into the first team dressing room, you have to keep fighting for the three points in the league and the schedule on Saturday and Tuesday is tough, but that's the training you need when you're younger.

Hugill was greeted with a hug of new assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy after scoring for the Reds in the warm-up game, and the former Manchester United legend also analysed some details of the pitch with him. In response, the Englishman, nicknamed "New Crouch", said: "He gave us some tips."
