"the club do seem to be active in the market behind the scenes, with journalist Ben Jacobs reporting that they have held covert talks with an unnamed midfield target. There is one secret midfielder that Manchester United held talks with in the last 24 hours, he told The Football Terrace. He continued, offering clues as to the player's identity: The midfielder is only available on loan until the end of the season, they've got Premier League experience, and they are currently playing outside of England."
"Ruben Loftus-Cheek has proven a popular theory. The ex-Chelsea midfielder, 29, now plies his trade at AC Milan and has made 18 appearances this season, but has already been linked with moves to Aston Villa and Newcastle this month. He has not played in the Premier League since 2023, when he left Stamford Bridge after loan spells at Crystal Palace and Fulham."
"Plenty of other names have been suggested, with Weston McKennie proving a popular choice among fans. The Juventus midfielder has 19 Premier League appearances to his name, all won during a six-month loan at Leeds United in 2023. Marseille's Angel Gomes, who began his career at Manchester United, is also seen as a possible option, as has Ruben Neves, who moved to Saudi side Al Hilal in 2023 after calling time on a six-year spell with Wolves."
