"Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, though Aston Villa are also in the mix for his signature. The former Chelsea man has mostly been a key player for Milan, but it seems his future is now uncertain and he could head back to the Premier League. According to talkSPORT, Man Utd are at early stages of talks over Loftus-Cheek after being offered the player, but Villa may be further ahead in their pursuit of the England international."
"Ruben Loftus-Cheek of AC Milan (Photo by Yu Chun Christopher Wong/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images) Previously described as magnificent by Ian Wright during his Chelsea days (as per the Metro), Loftus-Cheek has experience at the highest level and could be a good option for United during this transitional period they find themselves in. Even if a major rebuild of their midfield is needed, Loftus-Cheek could come in as a squad player to contribute occasionally and help the club's younger players."
Manchester United have been offered the opportunity to sign AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek while Aston Villa also pursue his signature and may be further along in negotiations. Loftus-Cheek has been a key player at AC Milan but faces uncertainty over his future and could return to the Premier League. United supporters generally prefer a younger long-term midfield target, yet Loftus-Cheek could provide experienced short-term cover during a transitional period. The 29-year-old will seek regular playing time, making Aston Villa and Unai Emery's promising project potentially more attractive than a risky move to Old Trafford.
