"Ruben Amorim and the recruitment team at Man United are looking to sign a new midfielder next year. It remains to be seen if they will target that signing in the January transfer window or wait till the summer of 2026. Signing a midfielder has become a priority at Old Trafford. After their failure to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton last summer, the need for a new midfielder has increased for the Red Devils considering how they have performed this season."
"Their over reliance on Bruno Fernandes and the ageing Casemiro is something that Amorim is looking to address in the market. The Man United boss needs a younger, more athletic and energetic presence in the midfield for his team. The Premier League giants are constantly being linked with new midfielders. The likes of Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest) and Joao Gomes (Wolves) are the others names on the radar of the Red Devils."
"Gallagher, after falling out of favour with Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid, is being linked with a move away from Spain and reportedly the Premier League clubs can sign him in a 50 million deal. Gallagher, who has previously played in the Premier League with Chelsea and Crystal Palace, is a player who is highly rated by United and his past experience in the league is something that adds another layer to the picture."
Manchester United are leading the race to sign Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid, with Ruben Amorim and the recruitment team targeting a new midfielder next year. The club is weighing a January move or a wait until summer 2026. The need intensified after failing to sign Carlos Baleba last summer and due to overreliance on Bruno Fernandes and ageing Casemiro. Amorim wants a younger, more athletic and energetic midfield presence. Other targets include Elliot Anderson and Joao Gomes. Gallagher has fallen out of favour at Atletico and could be available for a reported 50 million deal. The midfielder is known for work rate, passing and organisation and may return to the Premier League for more playing time.
