Manchester United are preparing for a crucial summer transfer window as they look to strengthen key areas of their squad.
In that regard, according to a recent update from Fichajes, the Premier League giants have identified two Real Madrid players—Andriy Lunin and Aurelien Tchouameni—as their primary targets.
The English club believes these additions will address the weaknesses they have faced this season and are willing to make a substantial financial offer to convince the Spanish side.
Lunin’s situation has particularly caught the attention of Manchester United due to the inconsistency of Andre Onana.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper has proven his ability when called upon at Real Madrid, delivering strong performances in the absence of Thibaut Courtois.
However, with Courtois set to return from injury, Lunin’s role is expected to be limited once again.

This could push him towards considering an exit, and Manchester United see him as a dependable solution to their goalkeeping problems. Bringing him in would provide the stability they have lacked between the posts this season.
Meanwhile, the pursuit of Tchouameni highlights Manchester United’s ambition to reinforce their midfield with a high-calibre player.
Despite a challenging start at Real Madrid, the Frenchman has cemented his place in Carlo Ancelotti’s system and is now a key figure for the club. Manchester United are prepared to invest around €80 million in an attempt to lure him to Old Trafford.
This amount would allow Real Madrid to recover the fee they paid for him in 2022, making it a tempting financial proposal.
However, convincing Real Madrid to part ways with Tchouameni will not be easy as his growing influence in midfield and the appreciation he has gained from the Santiago Bernabeu faithful make his departure highly unlikely.
Even so, Manchester United remain determined to pursue both Lunin and Tchouameni, and their persistence in the transfer market could lead to unexpected developments in the summer.
