"United have been linked with multiple midfielders after Casemiro announced that he will be leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season. While many of the targets reported are playing in the Premier League, such as Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, United's scouts are also looking further afield."
"According to TEAMtalk, United are among several Premier League clubs watching Ajax starlet Sean Steur. Steur has had fewer than a dozen senior starts, but United have sent scouts to Ajax matches to take a closer look at the midfielder. Interest is believed to be surging across the Premier League, with Liverpool and Arsenal both tracking the 18-year-old."
"The Eredivisie is the home of many talented prospects, but it is worth noting that United have had mixed luck when shopping in the Dutch market. Perhaps the biggest success in recent years has been Lisandro Martinez, after arriving from Ajax in 2022 along with Erik ten Hag. The more disappointing deals include Andre Onana, Antony and Memphis Depay."
Manchester United face significant midfield recruitment needs following Casemiro's announcement to leave at season's end. The club remained inactive in January but plans substantial summer activity. Scouts are evaluating multiple targets across leagues, including Premier League players like Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, while also exploring the Eredivisie market. Ajax's Sean Steur, an 18-year-old midfielder, has attracted United's attention alongside interest from Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City. Despite mixed historical success in the Dutch market—with Lisandro Martinez succeeding but Onana, Antony, and Depay disappointing—United continue scouting Dutch talent. Steur's contract extends to 2028, though top English clubs' pursuit may complicate Ajax's retention efforts.
