Hall, Ndiaye and Diomande all on Man Utd target list

Lewis Hall, Iliman Ndiaye and Yan Diomande are among the names Manchester United are considering this summer as they look to strengthen their squad for a likely return to European football.

Central midfield is their priority, and Sky Sports News has covered this extensively in a central midfielders feature today, but United are also looking to sign a left winger and a left-back.

Diomande – the Ivory Coast winger thriving at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga – is set to be one of the most coveted wingers of the summer and Sky Sports News reported in January that United were emerging as one of the clubs with the strongest interest. 

Thereis also interest in him from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain too, while he has been tracked by Liverpool, Tottenham and a host of others, and the competition may influence how early in the summer he moves, and United’s involvement.

Everton’s Ndiaye is another player United are monitoring in this position and is attracting interest from several top clubs. 

The 26-year-old scored in Everton’s 3-0 win against Chelsea last weekend, and is continuing an impressive season under David Moyes.

The ideal summer window for United would include at least two new midfielders, with Brighton’s Carlos Baleba still a target after a move to Old Trafford failed to materialise last summer and in January – and they would like him in before the World Cup.

Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson also high on United’s list of targets along with the likes of Sandro Tonali, Adam Wharton and Joao Gomes.

United are also looking at left-back, however, with Patrick Dorgu emerging as a more attacking option for them, leading the club to look at the likes of Newcastle’s Hall and Nathaniel Brown at Eintracht Frankfurt. 

Hall has been superb for Newcastle this season and has broken into the England fold, called up for the friendlies against Uruguay and Japan over the next two weeks.

United’s current option at left-back, Luke Shaw, who has been a Premier League stalwart this season, has terms that will run until the summer of 2027. Tyrell Malacia is expected to leave the club once his contract expires in the summer.
