"The decision..." - Man United could make "two" signings in key position, says Fabrizio Romano | OneFootball

Manchester United are now being tipped to make at least one, but probably two signings in midfield this summer, as per Fabrizio Romano on his latest YouTube post.

Man Utd seem inclined to make it a double signing in that area of their squad due to the fact that both Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte will need replacing this summer.

We recently reported on Ugarte being likely to leave Old Trafford at the end of this season, and Romano has now confirmed our claims.

Kobbie Mainoo will be staying, but the fact that Casemiro and Ugarte will both be heading for the exit means United could look for two replacements in that department.

Fabrizio Romano on Manchester United signing two midfielders

“Man United decision for the midfield position for the summer transfer window is going in a direction to sign eventually two midfielders not just one,” Romano said.

“My information today is that Manchester United are oriented to go for two midfielders – for one reason that Casemiro is leaving … And the other update I can give you today is that according to my information, Manuel Ugarte could also leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

“Some movements have already started to find a solution for Manuel Ugarte. So you can imagine with Casemiro leaving, with Ugarte leaving, with Man United probably playing Champions League football, for sure playing European football, it means that Man United need two more midfielders.

“And so the decision of the club is one guaranteed, but the second is starting to become almost guaranteed as a new signing to do for Manchester United. So one for sure, 100%, but could be two.”

Manchester United’s midfield targets

We’ve ranked some of the midfielders being linked with United here, and it’s fair to say Elliot Anderson looks like he could be ideal for MUFC.

A long list of other names have also been mentioned, however, such as Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Joao Gomes, as per Manchester World.
