Manchester United target Ruben Neves and Boubacar Kamara
Manchester United have added Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves and Marseille player to their target as they seek to strengthen the midfield position.
Newcastle and Roma are also interested in the 22-year-old Kamara, who will be out of contract this summer and can sign a pre-contract agreement with any team outside France.
Neves, who played in the midfield in their victory against United on Monday is under a contract with until 2024.
United main priority remains the summer transfer window but the club might shift business this January if the right players are available.
Skysports pundit Jamie Redknapp criticized the 4-2-2-2 formation of United’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick after defeat to Wolves stating that it doesn’t work when the right players are not available.
“When you watch Man City and the best teams, they have control of the midfield. United never had that,” he added.
“Never once did they play passes to each other, or have an ability to take the sting out of the game, they were so poor today.”
“Ralf Rangnick is playing 4-2-2-2 with two midfield players, who you are asking to get around the pitch and play against four.
“To be fair, Scott McTominay has been their best player, but Nemanja Matic can’t get around the pitch anymore. He’s not the player he once was, and against Wolves they just got passed to death.
“They got absolutely slaughtered.
“You look at the two in midfield for Wolves, Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, they ran the show at Old Trafford.”
