Ibrahim Sangare: United considering replacing veteran with Forest star<\/p>\n
Manchester United may look to raid Nottingham Forest in the summer to overhaul their midfield.<\/p>\n
Casemiro<\/a> has already announced that he will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season when his contract expires.<\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes is reportedly feeling \u201cupbeat and positive\u201d following Michael Carrick\u2019s arrival, but his long-term future remains uncertain due to his age and expiring contract.<\/p>\n It has been widely reported that Elliot Anderson is Manchester United\u2019s top midfield target.<\/p>\n Forest\u2019s midfield metronome has attracted attention with his impressive composure in possession and his ability to progress the ball.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old Englishman is one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Premier League. It may take around \u00a3100 million<\/a> to sign the box-to-box dynamo from Forest.<\/p>\n However, it must be noted that it is Ibrahim Sangare\u2019s exceptional ground coverage and duel-winning ability that have allowed Anderson the freedom to consistently move higher up the field this season.<\/p>\n United would need a defensive midfielder like Casemiro to get the best out of Anderson.<\/p>\n According to Givemesport<\/a>, United\u2019s recruitment team are assessing potential targets to help replace their Brazilian veteran.<\/p>\n It is understood that the Premier League giants have been impressed with Ivory Coast star Ibrahim Sangare \u201cas a player who can bolster defensive midfield.\u201d<\/p>\n Signed from PSV for \u00a330m, the 28-year-old has established himself as a regular alongside Anderson in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n In 2023, Dutch coach Mario Been compared<\/a> Ibrahim Sangare to Marcel Desailly and Claude Makelele for his \u201cundervalued\u201d contribution to his side.<\/p>\n United should consider the possibility of signing both Anderson and his six-foot-three-inch-tall teammate, Sangare<\/a>, to add much-needed technical security and robustness to their midfield.<\/p>\n Featured image Naomi Baker via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n online polls<\/a><\/p>\n The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
