According to the "Sun" report, Manchester United's midfield reinforcements are focusing on Elliott Anderson, Adam Walton and Baleba.

Amorim hopes to continue to implement the strategy of introducing players who have proven themselves in the Premier League, and the central midfielder is his next target. The club are weighing up which signing would be best for Amorim and have three players on their radar.

Forest midfielder Anderson is a key player for the England team in the World Cup preliminaries. Manchester United is also paying attention to Crystal Palace midfielder Walton. They were also interested in Brighton midfielder Baleba this summer.

If these three clubs refuse to release people in the winter window, then Manchester United is willing to wait until next summer instead of pursuing players who have received less attention outside the Premier League.

Manchester United signed Cunha from Wolves and Mbemo from Brentford this summer. It seems that both signings have played a role so far. Manchester United's reconstruction plan has entered the next stage, and midfield signings are regarded as the top priority.

Manchester United has enough funds to introduce a midfielder next summer, and Casemiro is likely to leave the team unless he accepts a salary cut. Manchester United will not activate the one-year extension clause in Casemiro's contract because he earns more than £300,000 a week.

In addition to Casemiro, Sancho earns 250,000 pounds per week. He will leave the team next summer. Sending Sancho and Casemiro away can save more than 31 million pounds in salary expenses every year.

In addition, Malaysia will also leave the team next summer. Manchester United will also receive 38 million pounds from Naples, who will buy out Hoylen, while Barcelona has an option to buy out Rashford for 30 million pounds.
